Lead is ubiquitous on Runfold's older housing stock at chimneys, valleys, bay tops and dormers. We repair and replace lead flat roofs, flashings and valleys across Runfold using Code 4 and Code 5 milled lead sheet.
Runfold's 1970s–1990s housing stock means lead work is a regular requirement. Concrete interlocking tile nail sickness on 1970s–80s stock. UPVC fascia cracking. Flat roof failures on extension additions. Mortar failure on exposed ridge sections. Thermal cycling on Runfold properties means expansion provision is critical — we always specify correct sheet dimensions and bay widths.
1970s to 1990s detached and semi-detached in a suburban village setting between Farnham and Seale. Concrete interlocking tile throughout. Many properties have had single-storey extensions.

Runfold sits on the sandy greensand ridge south-east of Farnham. Relatively exposed with good drainage. The greensand substrate means more weather exposure than sheltered valley properties.
Runfold's greensand ridge position gives it more weather exposure than sheltered valley properties. Sandy substrate foundation movement contributes to accelerated ridge mortar cracking on some properties.

Runfold's position on the greensand ridge south-east of Farnham gives properties here more weather exposure than sheltered valley locations. The sandy substrate also means foundation movement is slightly more prevalent than on clay or chalk — a subtle contributor to ridge mortar cracking that we see on some older Runfold properties. Exposed south-west facing elevations need more frequent ridge inspection than sheltered properties.

Properly installed lead sheet typically lasts 60–100+ years. The most common cause of premature failure on Runfold 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.
