Southery is a working Fen village where exposed rooftops and ageing housing stock make reliable lead work one of the most important maintenance jobs a homeowner can arrange.
Southery's housing ranges from pre-war council-era semis to older brick cottages sitting close to the Bedford Level drainage channels. The village is flat and open, and prevailing south-westerly winds drive rain hard against chimney stacks and parapet walls, which puts constant stress on flashings. Step flashings around chimney breasts and cover flashings along parapet copings are the areas we most commonly repair on Southery properties — often after years of gradual movement have opened up joints that mortar pointing alone cannot fix.
Lead work in Southery typically costs between £150 and £600 depending on the length of run and access requirements, though chimney stack work with full re-soakering can run higher.
