Lead is ubiquitous on Wrecclesham's older housing stock at chimneys, valleys, bay tops and dormers. We repair and replace lead flat roofs, flashings and valleys across Wrecclesham using Code 4 and Code 5 milled lead sheet.
Wrecclesham's 1930s–1950s housing stock means lead work is a regular requirement. Moss accumulation on north-facing clay tile roofs. Concrete tile surface carbonation on 1950s stock. Timber fascia rot on unmodernised properties. Lead valley failures on tree-covered plots. Thermal cycling on Wrecclesham properties means expansion provision is critical — we always specify correct sheet dimensions and bay widths.
Semi-detached and detached properties built in the 1930s to 1950s. Mix of concrete interlocking tile and original clay tile on older stock.

Wrecclesham sits in the Wey valley floor south of Farnham. The low-lying position creates higher ambient humidity — moss growth on north and east facing slopes is above average.
Wrecclesham's valley floor position creates a frost pocket — freeze-thaw cycles hit harder here than on elevated Farnham, accelerating pointing failure and tile cracking.
We cover Wrecclesham (GU10) and all Farnham postcodes. Same-day surveys Monday to Saturday. Emergency call-outs 24/7. Call 0125 244 7622.

"Excellent lead roofing work on our 1930s–1950s property. Came when they said they would, did exactly what was quoted, left the place clean. Would recommend to anyone in Wrecclesham."
"Really impressed with the knowledge of local properties. They understood exactly what our Wrecclesham house needed and specified the job correctly first time."
"Free quote, no obligation, fair price. The work was done to a high standard and they explained everything clearly. Exactly what you want from a local roofer."
Valley-floor humidity and frost pocket conditions mean roofs here need specific attention. The combination of persistent morning damp and harder freeze-thaw cycles than elevated Farnham accelerates mortar deterioration and moss growth on north-facing slopes. Properties on Sandrock Hill Road and Lower Weybourne Lane consistently present with more advanced moss colonisation than equivalent properties on the ridge above.

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