Lead Work & Flashing in Cottingham
Traditional roofing details survive all over Cottingham: valleys between pantile slopes, chimney flashings on Hallgate's Victorian homes, and small lead-covered bays and porches near King Street. We work these details in code lead, welded and dressed by hand, replacing tired mortar fillets with proper stepped flashings that actually keep water out. In the conservation area especially, lead done well is the difference between a repair you notice and one you never do.

Lead Work in Cottingham: local factors
Colour-washed walls are commoner here than in most places, the paint applied straight onto brick, render or pebble-dash, and early twentieth-century mock-Tudor half-timbering appears in several parts. Those finishes change how an abutment is detailed: a chase cut into render must be made good, and a flashing dressed over half-timber follows an uneven face. Lead too long in the bay, or too thin in code, splits with thermal movement.
