Upwell is one of the most architecturally interesting villages in the Fens, with a long run of Georgian and Victorian properties lining the old course of the Well Creek — many of which have lead work that's long overdue attention.
The Well Creek waterway gives Upwell and Outwell their distinctive character: a ribbon of older brick and flint buildings, some with slate roofs, others with clay pantiles, and several with genuine period features including decorative leadwork on dormers and ornate chimney stacks. These buildings need roofers who will take care around original details rather than ripping out and replacing everything with modern alternatives. Where historic lead can be repaired and re-dressed, we'll do that; where it needs full replacement, we match the original profile and weight as closely as possible.
Lead flashing repairs in Upwell generally range from £180 for a small chimney flashing patch to upwards of £800 for a full valley replacement with new soakers, though we'll always assess and quote individually. Our team is based in Downham Market, under ten miles away, so response times are short. Call us to arrange a free survey — particularly if you have an older property on the creek frontage that hasn't had its roof inspected in several years.
