Lead Work & Flashing in Hornsea
The Victorian and Edwardian villas along Hornsea’s seafront carry lead on their bay-window tops, dormers and chimney flashings, all facing the sea with no shelter. The lead itself lasts; it is the fixings and the laps that fail when easterly gales get underneath, and a lifted sheet lets a winter’s rain straight in. We renew flashings, bays and dormers in lead of the correct code, dressed and fixed for an exposed coast, and refit lead on the older cottages near the Mere to match the original.

Lead Work in Hornsea: local factors
A lead sheet that runs too long has nowhere to send the movement caused by heat, and that is often why a flashing starts to leak within a few years of being fitted rather than lasting decades. Sheet lengths, laps and the code of lead are specified with that in mind, and on the older buildings around the Market Place the original detail matters as much as the metal.
