Chimney Repairs And Leadwork in Wrecsam / Wrexham, Wrexham

Have you ever wondered what actually keeps the water from nipping in where your chimney meets the roof tiles? That’s the leadwork, and it’s the unsung hero of your home’s defence. If your lead flashing is cracked or has pulled away from the brickwork, you’re essentially leaving the front door open for water ingress. We don't mess about with cheap fixes; we use high-quality Code 4 or Code 5 lead, following LSA standards to ensure it lasts for decades. Whether it’s fitting new soakers, step flashing, or complex valley liners, our team treats it like a craft. It’s about more than just being watertight; it’s about that traditional look that keeps your property’s character intact while you stay warm and dry.

Most Wrexham homeowners we speak to don't think about their chimney mortar until a gale blows through. Over time, the wind and rain scour away the joints between the bricks—a process called 'weathering.' If your chimney stack looks like it’s losing its grip, it probably is. We offer professional repointing to rake out that old, sandy grit and replace it with fresh, durable mortar. We also keep an eye on the 'flaunching'—that’s the sloped concrete at the very top that holds your chimney pots in place. If that cracks, you risk a pot coming down in a storm. A bit of maintenance now is a lot cheaper than a full rebuild later, wouldn't you agree?

Sometimes, a few new joints won't cut it. If a chimney has become structurally unsound or has been leaning for years, it can actually become a safety hazard to you and your neighbours. We’ve handled everything from minor repairs to complete chimney rebuilds across the region, matching the bricks to your existing home so it doesn't look like an afterthought. On the flip side, if you've blocked up your fireplaces and that old stack is just another thing to maintain, we can safely remove it for you. We’ll take it down below the roofline, timber it over, and tile it in so you’d never even know it was there. It’s a great way to remove the risk of leaks for good.

Is there a mysterious whistling sound coming down your flue, or perhaps the sound of wings flapping? Redundant chimneys are famous for letting in cold drafts and providing a five-star hotel for local pigeons. We can fit professional cowls and caps to keep the birds out and stop the rain from falling straight down the hole. If you’re not using the fire anymore, capping the chimney properly—while still allowing for a bit of ventilation—is a smart move. It protects the internal masonry from damp and stops those annoying downdraughts from chilling your living room. It's a quick job for us, but it makes a massive difference to your comfort.
