Chimney Leadwork Repair

Chimney Services

Chimney leadwork is crucial for sealing the joint between the chimney stack and the roof, providing a waterproof barrier that prevents leaks and water damage. Over time, lead flashing around chimneys can wear down due to weather exposure, causing gaps that allow water ingress. Roofers of Cheshire specialises in chimney leadwork services, including new lead installations, repairs, and replacement, ensuring your chimney remains watertight and protected against the elements.

Importance of Chimney Leadwork Repairs

  1. Waterproofing: Lead flashing serves as a barrier against rain and snow, preventing water from seeping into the chimney stack and roof structure. Properly installed lead flashing can effectively direct water away from vulnerable areas, reducing the risk of damp and structural issues.
  2. Durability: Lead is highly durable and weather-resistant, making it ideal for chimney flashing. It expands and contracts with temperature changes, maintaining its seal and strength over time.
  3. Preservation of Roof and Chimney Structure: By preventing water penetration, quality leadwork protects both the chimney and surrounding roof materials from decay and damage, prolonging the life of your roof.
