About Llandudno Junction Properties
Victorian railway-era terraces on Conway Road and station grid streets. Post-war semis on eastern fringe. Mixed-era roofing common from extensions added across multiple decades.
Afon Conwy flood plain creates higher humidity than surrounding elevated ground. Valley damp accelerates moss growth and mortar erosion. Less direct sea exposure than coastal towns.
Why Llandudno Junction Specifically Matters for Lead Roofing
The mixed-era roofing on Junction Victorian terraces — where extensions of different eras meet the original structure — creates complex lead flashing requirements at junctions and abutments. These are the details that fail most frequently. We survey all abutment flashings when attending Junction properties and identify failing junctions before they become active leaks.
Our Lead Roofing Process
Correct Code for Every Application
Code 4 for step flashings and soakers. Code 5 for back gutters and wide aprons. Code 6 for valleys and large gutter linings. We specify correctly — not all contractors do.
New Lead, Not Re-Dressed Old
Work-hardened lead that has been in place for decades will crack when re-dressed. New code-grade lead correctly installed outlasts any attempt to re-use old material.
Pointed with Lime, Not Silicone
Flashings in conservation areas and on period properties are pointed with NHL lime mortar. Silicone fails in 5–7 years. Lime mortar, correctly mixed, outlasts the lead.
