How do I know if my chimney needs repointing?

Crumbling or missing mortar between the bricks, loose bricks, or damp appearing on the chimney breast inside are all signs. Left too long, failing pointing lets water in and can lead to a costly rebuild, so it is worth acting early.

Why is leadwork so important on a roof?

Lead flashing seals the joints where the roof meets chimneys, walls and valleys, which are the points most likely to leak. Properly formed, code-graded leadwork lasts for decades, which is why it is worth having it fitted by an experienced roofer.

Can you remove an unused chimney?

Yes. We can remove redundant chimney stacks, either down to roof level or fully, and make the roof good with new timbers, tiles and flashing so it is watertight and neat.

Chimney and leadwork covers the repair, repointing and rebuilding of chimney stacks and the fitting of lead flashing, soakers and valleys that keep water out at the roof's most vulnerable joints.

Chimneys and roof junctions are where most leaks begin. Failed pointing, cracked flaunching and tired lead flashing let water track into the roof and down inside the walls. Good leadwork is a skilled trade, and it is one we take pride in.

We repoint and rebuild chimney stacks, renew flaunching and fit new lead flashing, soakers and valleys across Burton-on-Trent and the East Midlands.
