Lead is ubiquitous on Rowledge's older housing stock at chimneys, valleys, bay tops and dormers. We repair and replace lead flat roofs, flashings and valleys across Rowledge using Code 4 and Code 5 milled lead sheet.
Rowledge's Victorian and 1930s housing stock means lead work is a regular requirement. Wind-driven rain penetration on west-facing clay tile roofs. Nail sickness on Victorian slate. Lead flashing failure at dormers. Ridge mortar failure from wind exposure on elevated plots. Thermal cycling on Rowledge properties means expansion provision is critical — we always specify correct sheet dimensions and bay widths.
Village character with Victorian and Edwardian cottages in the centre, 1930s semis on the outskirts. Natural slate and clay tile dominant on older properties.

Rowledge sits on elevated ground south of Farnham on the Surrey-Hampshire border. Exposed to south-westerly weather — wind-driven rain is a persistent challenge on west-facing elevations.
Rowledge's elevated position means ridge and hip mortar fails faster than in sheltered valley properties. We see more wind uplift damage here than almost anywhere else in the Farnham area.
We cover Rowledge (GU10) and all Farnham postcodes. Same-day surveys Monday to Saturday. Emergency call-outs 24/7. Call 0125 244 7622.

Rowledge's elevation on the Surrey-Hampshire border creates wind loading conditions unlike sheltered valley properties. The south-westerly exposure means ridge and hip mortar on west-facing elevations deteriorates faster here than anywhere else in the Farnham area. After any significant Atlantic storm, Rowledge properties should be checked from ground level for displaced ridge tiles.

Properly installed lead sheet typically lasts 60–100+ years. The most common cause of premature failure on Rowledge 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.
Code 4 is the minimum for most flashings and valley work. Code 5 for flat roofs and larger spans. We always specify the appropriate code in our written quote.
