When it comes to leadwork in Chartham — a Stour-valley village known for its paper mill — and with housing that is largely Victorian terraces and cottages plus village estates, cracked and slipped lead at chimneys and valleys is the typical call.
We keep it honest — renew the failed lead in the correct code, dressed by hand to allow for movement, with correct-code lead, hand-dressed and fixed traditionally — a free Chartham survey, a fixed written quote and no call-out fee.
Most Chartham roofs are reached from a tower or roof ladder; scaffold is quoted where a job needs safe standing time at height. Scaffold is specified for: re-roofs, chimney and valley work, and anything beyond a day at height - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Chartham’s cottages, terraces and village lanes have limited parking, so scaffold lorry access and skip placement are arranged ahead of the work. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Canterbury City Council; allow a few working days on streets like Chartham high street, Chartham’s older terraces where space is tight.
Lead is the most common leak point on Chartham roofs — chimney flashings, valleys and bay-window tops. We use the correct lead code for the position and dress it properly to last decades. Chartham's character as a Stour valley village — with flint-and-brick cottages around the green, Victorian terraces built for the paper mill, and 1950s-60s estate housing on the valley sides — means no two specialist lead work jobs here are quite the same, and we quote each on its own merits.
The defining local factor is clear: Valley-floor humidity from the Stour and the old mill leat accelerates moss and algae on north-facing slopes. The mill terraces have ageing slate, and the 1950s-60s estate roofs are reaching nail-sickness age. We see it repeatedly on roofs around The Green, Rattington Street, Shalmsford Street, Station Road, and it shapes how we approach specialist lead work in Chartham. North-facing valley slopes need moss treatment; mill terraces often need slate re-fixing.
