Why chimneys leak

Old lead flashings crack and lift, mortar fillets crumble and water runs down behind them. It often shows up as a damp patch on the chimney breast or bedroom ceiling. We replace failed flashings with new stepped lead, dressed in properly.

  • Stepped and apron lead flashings
  • Lead canopies and bay roofs
  • Chimney repointing
  • Leaks around chimneys traced and fixed

Questions

My chimney breast is damp. Is it the roof?

Often, yes. Failed flashings and crumbling mortar around the chimney are a very common cause. Adam can check it for you.
