Wickhambrook is a scattered Suffolk parish of hamlets and farmsteads, and out here, good lead work often means the difference between a dry home and years of slow water damage going unnoticed.
Many of the older properties across Wickhambrook's multiple greens — Genesis Green, Meeting Green, Nunnery Green — are brick or clay-lump construction with clay pantile or slate roofs, and the chimney flashings on these buildings take real punishment from the exposed, wind-driven rain that this part of High Suffolk can dish out. Flashings that have been pointed up with mortar rather than properly re-leaded are a common issue; mortar fails within a few years, whereas correctly fitted lead code 4 or 5 flashings should last 40 years or more.
