Chimney Repairs And Leadwork in Shotton, Flintshire

Lead is the unsung hero of your roofline. It is that silver-grey material that seals the gap where the chimney stack meets the tiles or slates. If your lead flashing is cracked or has come away from the brickwork, water ingress is almost guaranteed. We do not believe in quick fixes or temporary sealants that fail after a few months. Our team uses traditional craftsmanship to install lead soakers and step flashings to LSA standards, typically using Code 4 or Code 5 lead for maximum durability. It is about doing the job once and doing it right, ensuring your Shotton home stays dry and protected no matter what the Cheshire weather throws at it. Do you know the last time your leadwork was inspected?

Does your chimney stack look a bit worse for wear from the ground? Over time, the mortar between the bricks can crumble away due to the wind and frost. If the mortar is falling out, the whole stack can eventually become unstable. We offer professional repointing to refresh those joints and can even handle full chimney rebuilds if the structure is compromised. We also pay close attention to the flaunching—that is the sloped mortar at the very top that holds your chimney pots in place. Keeping this area in good nick is essential for preventing leaks and ensuring your chimney pots stay exactly where they belong. It is not just about safety; it also gives your home’s exterior a much cleaner, well-maintained look.

Many older homes in Shotton have chimneys that are no longer in use. If you have blocked up your fireplace inside, your external chimney still needs to breathe to prevent damp. We can install ventilated capping and cowls to stop birds nesting or rain getting down the flue while still allowing essential airflow. Alternatively, if you would rather remove the maintenance hassle altogether, we can safely dismantle the chimney stack and tile over the area so it matches your existing roof perfectly. Whatever your preference, we will provide an honest, no-obligation assessment of what is best for your property and your budget.
