Chimney Repairs And Leadwork in Stoke-On-Trent, Stoke-on-Trent

Have you ever wondered what actually keeps the rain from getting in where your chimney meets the roof tiles? That's the lead flashing, and if it wasn't installed correctly or has started to split with age, you're going to have issues with water ingress. We don't believe in quick fixes or sticky tapes that peel off after a few months. Instead, we use traditional leadwork skills following LSA guidelines to ensure a permanent fix. From installing Code 4 or Code 5 lead flashing to fitting bespoke soakers and valley liners, our team makes sure the joints on your roof are completely sealed. It’s the kind of craftsmanship that looks great and, more importantly, keeps your loft bone-dry.

If you look up at your chimney and see plants growing out of it or bits of mortar on the driveway, it’s a clear sign that the weather has won. Over time, the mortar joints between the bricks perish, which can lead to structural issues if left alone. We offer a full repointing service to rake out the old, crumbling material and replace it with fresh, durable mortar. We also look at the 'flaunching'—that’s the sloped bed of mortar at the very top that holds your chimney pots in place. If that’s cracked, your pots could become unstable. We’ll strip it back and relay it properly, ensuring your chimney is as solid as the day it was built.

Not every house needs its chimney anymore, especially if you’ve moved over to central heating and the old fireplace is blocked up. A redundant chimney is often just another thing to maintain. If yours is causing constant damp or you're worried about its safety, we can help with a full or partial chimney removal. We’ll safely dismantle the stack, bridge the gap in your roof, and match the new tiles or slates to your existing ones so you’d never even know it was there. Alternatively, if you want to keep the stack but stop the draughts, we can provide professional capping and cowls to keep the birds out and the rain away while allowing the structure to breathe.
