What can we help with?
Practical help for chimney masonry and roof junctions, with clear advice before you decide.
Chimney leak investigations
Look at the chimney, flashings and nearby roof details to help identify where water may be getting in.
Chimney repointing
Renew deteriorated mortar joints where repointing is suitable for the condition of the stack.
Lead flashing repairs
Assess loose, split or poorly fitted flashing and explain appropriate repair or replacement options.
Chimney pots & flaunching
Check damaged pots and the mortar around their bases, and set out the work needed.
Chimney masonry repairs
Address local masonry defects and discuss rebuilding where the condition calls for more extensive work.
Roof valleys & lead details
Assess worn leadwork at valleys, abutments and other roof junctions, with a scope suited to the detail.
A chimney leak needs a closer look.
Water appearing near a chimney does not always come from the most obvious place. Defects in mortar, flaunching, flashing or nearby roof coverings can all need consideration. We assess the accessible details and explain what the evidence shows before recommending work.
Repair the cause, not just the stain.
A small, isolated defect may be suitable for a local repair. Where deterioration is more widespread, repointing, renewed leadwork or masonry repairs may be needed. We explain the options and any further inspection required so you can make an informed decision. No sales pressure. Your roof. Your decision.
Clear details. A clear written scope.
Your quotation sets out the chimney or leadwork repairs included, proposed materials, access arrangements and waste removal. We explain how the work relates to the existing roof covering and adjoining masonry, so you know what is being repaired and why.
Care for the character of your home.
Older chimney stacks and roof details need an approach suited to their materials and condition. We discuss appropriate repairs and finishes, and flag where specialist advice or checks may be needed before work is agreed.

Chimney and leadwork questions, answered.
Why is water coming in around my chimney?
Possible causes include worn mortar, damaged flaunching, defective flashing or nearby roof coverings. We assess the accessible details and explain what can be established before recommending repairs.
Does my chimney need repointing or rebuilding?
That depends on the condition of the mortar and masonry. Repointing may be suitable where the stack is otherwise sound; more extensive damage may need masonry repairs or rebuilding. We explain the proposed scope before you decide.
Can damaged lead flashing be repaired?
Some isolated defects can be repaired. Split, poorly fitted or extensively worn flashing may need replacing. We assess the existing detail and discuss a suitable approach for your roof.
Do you repair chimney pots and flaunching?
Yes. We assess the condition of the pots and the mortar around their bases, then explain suitable repairs. If a pot serves an active appliance, its use needs to be considered before any changes are agreed.
Will scaffolding be needed?
It depends on the chimney position, roof height, access and extent of the work. We assess suitable access arrangements and include any scaffolding requirements in the written quotation.
How much do chimney repairs cost?
The cost depends on the defects, materials, access and work required. We provide a clear written quotation so you understand the scope and price before agreeing to proceed.
