Chimney Repairs And Leadwork in Yr Wyddgrug / Mold, Flintshire

Lead is a bit of a wonder material when it’s handled right. It’s what bridges the gap between your tiles and the brickwork of your chimney, acting as a flexible, waterproof seal. But here’s the thing – lead can crack over time due to thermal expansion, or worse, it might have been fitted poorly in the first place. We specialise in traditional leadwork using proper LSA standards. We use Code 4 or Code 5 lead that’s built to last for decades, not just a few seasons. From lead flashing and soakers to complex valley liners, we make sure every joint is snug and weather-tight. If you’ve spotted lead that’s pulling away or looks buckled, it’s best to get it sorted before the next storm hits Mold.

Have you noticed bits of mortar or even a stray brick on your lawn after a windy night? That’s a classic sign that your chimney stack needs some TLC. The mortar between the bricks (the pointing) can perish over time, allowing water to soak into the structure and cause damp inside your home. Our team provides thorough repointing to seal those gaps and protect the masonry. We also look at the flaunching – that’s the sloped concrete at the very top that keeps your pots in place. If that’s cracked, your pots could become unstable. We handle everything from minor repairs to full chimney rebuilds, ensuring your roofline stays safe and maintains its kerb appeal.

Not using your fireplace anymore? A redundant chimney can actually be a bit of a liability if it’s not looked after properly. It can become a nesting spot for birds or a source of cold draughts that push your heating bills up. We offer professional chimney capping and cowl installation to keep the rain and the jackdaws out while still allowing for essential ventilation to prevent condensation. If the chimney is in a really bad state and you’d rather see the back of it, we can safely remove it and tile over the gap, matching your existing roof perfectly. It’s a smart way to save on future maintenance costs if the stack is no longer needed for your home.
