Chimney Repairs And Leadwork in Walkden, Salford

Leadwork is a bit of a traditional craft, and it's something we take real pride in. That lead flashing—the silver-grey seal where your chimney meets the roof tiles—is your main defence against water ingress. If it's cracked, poorly fitted, or just showing its age, the rain will find a way in. We follow strict LSA guidelines, using high-quality Code 4 and Code 5 lead to ensure a weather-tight finish that lasts for decades. From installing lead soakers to fitting intricate step flashing, we make sure those tricky joints are completely sealed. It's the kind of job where 'near enough' isn't good enough, which is why we focus on precision to keep your Walkden home damp-free.

Is the mortar between your chimney bricks starting to look a bit crumbly? Over time, the wind and rain can wash away the mortar joints, a process known as 'weathering.' When this happens, the structural integrity of your chimney stack can be compromised. Our team specialised in chimney repointing, carefully stripping back the old, failing mortar and replacing it with a durable mix that stands up to the elements. We also handle flaunching—that's the sloped mortar at the very top that keeps your chimney pots secure. If your pots are loose or the flaunching is cracked, it's a safety risk you shouldn't ignore. We can replace pots, fit bird cowls to keep the jackdaws out, or even provide a full chimney stack rebuild if things have gone a bit too far.

Most homeowners we speak to in Salford only realise they have a problem when they see a stain on the wallpaper. By then, the water has often been soaking into your timbers for weeks. If you've got a redundant chimney that's causing dampness due to condensation, we can look at chimney capping and venting. This allows the stack to breathe while keeping the rain out. We also provide comprehensive roof maintenance and homebuyer roof surveys, starting from £250, so you can catch these issues before you sign on the dotted line for a new property. It’s all about peace of mind and protecting your investment from the ground up.
