Chimney Rebuilds & Leadwork in Mardale Road
Weather-beaten chimney stacks and cracked lead flashings are primary sources of water penetration into loft spaces. We handle complete chimney rebuilds, repointing, pot repairs, and specialist leadwork.
When You Need Chimney Rebuilds & Leadwork
Brickwork on your chimney stack is crumbling, spalling, or leaning. Damp patches appear on walls directly beneath your chimney breast. Lead flashings around the base of the chimney are torn, missing, or lifting. Mortar between the chimney bricks has eroded into powdery dust.
How We Do It
We erect safe scaffolding and inspect the structural integrity of your chimney stack and flashings. We rake out damaged mortar joints and carefully take down unstable brickwork where a rebuild is necessary. We rebuild the stack using matching bricks and fresh mortar, installing new lead flashings, step flashings, and trays. We clear away all rubble, leaving your roofline watertight and your property exterior spotless.
What to Expect
Chimney repairs typically take 1 to 2 days, while full structural chimney rebuilds take 3 to 5 days depending on access and height.
