Lead is ubiquitous on Upper Hale's older housing stock at chimneys, valleys, bay tops and dormers. We repair and replace lead flat roofs, flashings and valleys across Upper Hale using Code 4 and Code 5 milled lead sheet.
Upper Hale's 1920s–1940s housing stock means lead work is a regular requirement. Ridge tile displacement after winter storms. Flat roof failures on 1970s–1980s extension additions. Concrete tile erosion on oldest 1930s installations. Fascia delamination on unmodernised stock. Thermal cycling on Upper Hale properties means expansion provision is critical — we always specify correct sheet dimensions and bay widths.
Largely 1920s to 1940s detached and semi-detached on elevated ground north of the town. Mix of clay tile and early concrete tile. Many properties have had extensions with flat roofing.

Upper Hale occupies higher ground north of Farnham town centre. Exposed position means more wind loading on ridge tiles and hip mortar than valley properties.
Some of the earliest concrete roof tiles in the UK are on Upper Hale properties — installed in the 1930s when the material was new. These are now at extreme end of life.

Upper Hale's elevated position north of Farnham combines wind exposure with some of the oldest concrete tile stock in the area. Properties built in the 1930s with the earliest concrete tile installations are now approaching 90 years old — well beyond the design life of the material. Many Upper Hale properties are in whole-roof-replacement territory regardless of other presenting issues.

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