Stoke Ferry's mix of Victorian terraces, older flint properties, and riverside buildings means lead flashings here take a real battering from the exposed Fen weather.
Stoke Ferry sits where the River Wissey meets the edge of the Fens, and the damp, open climate accelerates deterioration of ageing lead on chimney stacks, flat roof perimeters, and bay window abutments. Many homes in the village centre date from the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, and their original lead work — while often still present — can be forty or fifty years past its safe working life. Splits, lifting edges, and failed soakers around stacks are the most common faults we find here.
Our team covers Stoke Ferry regularly from our Downham Market base, which is just a short drive along the A134. We replace failed lead with correctly weighted sheet lead, formed and fixed to current BS standards, and we dress all abutments with stainless steel clips to resist wind uplift on this exposed stretch. Call us to arrange a free inspection if you're seeing water staining on chimney-breast plasterwork or around a flat roof junction.
