Chimneys and leadwork

The joins are where roofs leak: around chimneys, along walls and down the valleys. Lead is what keeps those joins watertight.

Chimney repairs, lead flashing and lead valleys, where most roof leaks start.
Chimney lead flashing

Chimney stacks

Chimneys take the worst of the weather. Crumbling mortar, cracked flaunching on top and flashing pulling away from the brick all let water run down inside the wall.

Repointing, new flaunching and new lead flashing bring a stack back to watertight.

Lead flashing

Where the roof meets a wall or chimney, lead is dressed into the joint and over the tiles. When it splits or comes loose, water gets straight in, often showing up as a damp patch nowhere near the cause.

Ridge and flashing

Lead valleys

A valley is where two roof slopes meet, and it carries more water than anywhere else on the roof. A split or worn lead valley is one of the most common causes of a leak on a terraced house.
