Clare is a small market town of genuine architectural importance, with a remarkable concentration of medieval, Tudor, and Georgian buildings that all depend on quality lead work to stay weathertight.
The Ancient House on the High Street is the most photographed building in town, but it's the dozens of less celebrated timber-framed and pargeted properties behind it that generate most of our lead work enquiries. These buildings have complex roof geometries — intersecting slopes, low-pitched valleys, projecting wings — where lead is the only practical weatherproofing material. Lead valleys and flashings in Clare should be laid to code 5 as a minimum, given the exposed south-westerly aspect and the volume of rain this part of the Stour valley receives through winter.
We have experience working on listed and historically sensitive buildings and can advise on appropriate specifications before quoting. Call us for a free survey and written estimate for any lead work in Clare.
