Lead Work & Flashing in South Cave
Traditional lead detailing suits South Cave's older housing stock perfectly: flashings tucked into stone and brick chimneys, valleys between pantile slopes, and neat coverings over bay windows. We work in the appropriate code lead for each application, welting and dressing it by hand so it weathers gracefully for decades. Cottages near the Market Place and period homes in Ellerker and Brantingham all benefit from having a leadwork specialist based minutes away in Gilberdyke.

Lead Work in South Cave: local factors
A Grade II* church like All Saints' sets the benchmark for how leadwork should look: dressed by hand, sized so it can move, fixed so it stays put. Where a bay is run too long, the lead has no room to move with temperature change, and that is when it splits. Flashings, valleys and bay heads are formed in the lead code the detail calls for, with each bay sized to match.
