Chimney Repairs And Leadwork in Cheadle, Stockport

When it comes to keeping water out, there is simply no substitute for traditional leadwork. Have you ever wondered why older houses in Cheadle still have their original lead flashing? It's because, when installed correctly by a specialist, it lasts for generations. We pride ourselves on our leadwork skills, following the strict LSA (Lead Sheet Association) standards to ensure every job is perfect. We use Code 4 or Code 5 lead for our step flashing, soakers, and valleys, providing a flexible yet incredibly tough barrier against water ingress. If your current flashing is cracked or pulling away from the brickwork, you're essentially leaving the door open for damp. We'll strip back the old, failing materials and install a new, secure seal that will protect your property for years to come.

Most homeowners we speak to in Stockport don't realise that the mortar between their chimney bricks is designed to wear away over time to protect the bricks themselves. This process, called repointing, is vital maintenance. If the mortar starts to crumble or fall out, water can get into the stack, freeze, and then expand, which eventually leads to loose bricks and structural issues. We don't just slap a bit of cement over the top; we rake out the old joints properly and apply fresh, durable mortar that matches your home's character. We also specialise in flaunching—that's the sloped mortar at the very top that holds your chimney pots in place. If your flaunching is cracked, it can lead to falling debris and serious leaks. Our team will ensure your stack is solid, safe, and looking its best, adding real kerb appeal to your home.

Is your chimney currently redundant? If you aren't using your fireplace, an open chimney is basically a giant straw sucking heat out of your house and letting rain in. We offer practical chimney capping and the installation of ventilated cowls to keep the air flowing while blocking out the wet. We also see plenty of cases in Cheadle where birds have decided to set up home in an unprotected pot, causing blockages and mess. We can fit bird-proof cowls and replace cracked or missing chimney pots quickly and safely. From a simple pot replacement to a complete chimney removal and roof-over, we manage the whole process so you don't have to worry about a thing. It's all about providing that peace of mind that your roof is secure.
