Lead is ubiquitous on Badshot Lea's older housing stock at chimneys, valleys, bay tops and dormers. We repair and replace lead flat roofs, flashings and valleys across Badshot Lea using Code 4 and Code 5 milled lead sheet.
Badshot Lea's 1960s–1980s housing stock means lead work is a regular requirement. Concrete tile nail sickness on 1960s–70s stock. Blocked gutters and valleys from riverside vegetation. Flat roof garages needing replacement. Soffit and fascia deterioration on unmodernised stock. Thermal cycling on Badshot Lea properties means expansion provision is critical — we always specify correct sheet dimensions and bay widths.
Largely 1960s and 1970s semi-detached and terraced housing. Concrete interlocking tile throughout. Varied maintenance histories across the housing stock.

Badshot Lea sits in the flat plain east of Farnham adjacent to the River Wey. Low-lying with high water table — properties near the river experience higher moisture affecting moss growth.
Badshot Lea's proximity to the Wey floodplain creates moisture conditions that accelerate moss growth and gutter blockage. Twice-yearly gutter cleaning recommended for riverside properties.
We cover Badshot Lea (GU9) and all Farnham postcodes. Same-day surveys Monday to Saturday. Emergency call-outs 24/7. Call 0125 244 7622.

Properly installed lead sheet typically lasts 60–100+ years. The most common cause of premature failure on Badshot Lea properties is incorrect installation — sheets fixed without room for thermal expansion.
Often yes. Small splits, lifting edges and failed joints can frequently be repaired. We assess whether repair or replacement is better long-term value and give you an honest recommendation.
