Chimney Repairs And Leadwork in Eccleshall, Staffordshire

Why is lead still the go-to material for high-end roofing after all these centuries? Simply put, nothing else matches its flexibility and lifespan when it comes to sealing the gaps where your chimney meets the roof tiles. Our team specialises in traditional lead flashing, using specific Lead Codes (usually Code 4 or 5) to ensure your seals don't crack or warp in the sun. If your current lead soakers or valley liners are thinning or pulled away, water will find its way in. We take pride in our craftsmanship, ensuring every fold and joint follows LSA guidelines to keep your Eccleshall home bone-dry. It’s about doing the job once and doing it right, so you don't have to worry the next time the clouds turn grey.

Think of repointing as essential maintenance for your chimney's survival. Over time, the mortar joints between your bricks can crumble away, leaving the stack vulnerable to frost damage and even collapse. Most people we talk to in Eccleshall don't realise their chimney is in trouble until they see bits of grit in the guttering. We provide a thorough repointing service, raking out the old, weathered mortar and replacing it with high-quality materials that match your home's character. While we're up there, we'll check the flaunching—that's the sloped mortar at the very top that holds your chimney pots in place. If that's cracked, it’s only a matter of time before a pot becomes a safety hazard. We’ll make sure everything is rock solid and secure.

Is your chimney stack leaning slightly, or are the bricks starting to flake away? Sometimes a simple patch-up isn't enough to guarantee safety. In these cases, we can carry out a full chimney rebuild, carefully dismantling the old structure and building it back up to modern standards. However, if you no longer use your fireplaces, you might consider chimney removal or capping. Removing a redundant stack can save you a lifetime of maintenance costs and potential leaks. If you want to keep the stack for the look of the house but don't use the fire, we can fit cowls and caps to prevent birds from nesting and stop downdraughts. We'll chat through the options with you to find what works best for your budget and your property.
