Eye is a small Suffolk market town with real historic character — its Norman castle mound and medieval church sit among a collection of period buildings where lead work is not a luxury but a structural necessity.
The town centre around Broad Street and Church Street includes timber-framed buildings, Georgian brick frontages and older flint-faced properties, many of which have parapet gutters, valley liners or deep chimney flashings in lead. Some of these details are genuinely complex and require experience with traditional lead dressing techniques rather than the basic flashing work common on newer builds. Lead parapet gutters in Eye's older properties typically need relining every 40–60 years, and we can advise on the correct code of lead for your specific situation.
We cover Eye and the villages around it including Occold, Yaxley and Braiseworth. If you have a period property with lead work that looks tired or is letting water through, call us for a free survey — we'll give you an honest assessment and a clear written quote.
