When it comes to leadwork in Harbledown — an elevated village on the old Pilgrims’ Way approach to Canterbury — and with housing that is largely period cottages and Victorian villas, 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 Harbledown survey, a fixed written quote and no call-out fee.
Most Harbledown 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.
Harbledown’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 Harbledown high street, Harbledown’s older terraces where space is tight.
Work on Harbledown roofs starts with the building stock: historic cottages around the ancient church, Victorian and Edwardian villas on the Canterbury side, and mid-century houses tucked into the wooded slopes, spread across a wooded hillside village. Lead is the most common leak point on Harbledown roofs — chimney flashings, valleys and bay-window tops. We use the correct lead code for the position and dress it properly to last decades.
One issue dominates Harbledown roofs — Dense tree cover on the hillside is the dominant issue — constant leaf-fall blocks valleys and gutters, and heavy shade grows moss fast on north slopes. Steeply pitched period roofs need experienced access. It shows up again and again on properties near Church Hill, Summer Hill, Golden Hill, Whitstable Road, and we plan every specialist lead work job around it. Tree-shaded roofs need frequent valley clearing and moss control.
