Chimney Repairs And Leadwork in Middlewich, Cheshire East

The lead flashing around the base of your chimney is essentially the seal that keeps the rain out of your loft. If this lead is cracked, or if it wasn't installed correctly in the first place, water ingress is almost a certainty. We don't believe in quick fixes or sticky tape solutions; we use traditional craftsmanship and high-quality lead, usually Code 4 or Code 5, to ensure a fit that lasts for decades. By following LSA guidelines, we make sure every soaker and valley is perfectly shaped to channel water away from your roof and into the gutters. It's about giving you that peace of mind that next time a Cheshire storm rolls in, your living room will stay bone dry.

When was the last time you actually looked at the mortar joints on your chimney? Over the years, the lime and sand between the bricks can wash away, leaving the structure vulnerable. This isn't just a cosmetic issue; it affects the structural integrity of your whole roofline. Our team provides professional repointing to seal those gaps and keep the bricks secure. If the damage has gone a bit further, we can also repair or replace the flaunching—that's the sloped mortar at the very top that holds your chimney pots in place. From a minor tidy-up to a full chimney stack rebuild, we handle the heavy lifting so you don't have to worry about falling masonry or leaks.

If you've got an old fireplace that's no longer in use, your chimney might be doing more harm than good. Redundant stacks can be a source of cold draughts or, even worse, a favourite nesting spot for local birds. We offer a range of solutions, from fitting breathable cowls and caps to prevent blockages, to full chimney removal if you're looking to streamline your roofline. Removing a chimney isn't just about taking down bricks; it's about carefully weathering the hole left behind to match the rest of your tiles or slates. It's a great way to improve your home's kerb appeal while removing a potential maintenance liability.
