Chimneys and Leadwork

Chimney repairs and repointing, plus leadwork around flashings, valleys and abutments.

Chimneys and Leadwork

What's Involved

A chimney that looks fine from the ground often isn't once you're up beside it. We grind out and repoint, take down and rebuild loose courses, re-flaunch the top, and fit new lead where the stack meets the roof, so rain runs off the chimney instead of into the loft.

We have been called to jobs that started as one thing and turned out to need more once we were up there, we will always tell you before doing extra work, not after.

What We Do to a Chimney

  1. Grind out the old, cracked mortar and repoint, in sand and cement with PVA for extra strength.
  2. Take down loose courses and rebuild them.
  3. Re-flaunch the top so water runs off it.
  4. New Code 4 lead: soakers, step flashing, a back plate and a front plate.
  5. Where a roof meets a wall or a neighbour's roof: lead cover flashing, individual soakers, lead valleys or a hidden bonding gutter.

Real Jobs

Chimney and Lead Jobs

A chimney about to come down

Sent to repoint, the team found the next-door chimney close to collapsing. With no way to reach the landlord, we took down about seven courses, rebuilt, repointed and flaunched it for the price already quoted.

A leaking lead gully

An old lead gully between two houses was leaking beside a large chimney; we ground out and fully repointed the chimney as part of the repair.
