Chimneys & leadwork in Bournemouth

Chimneys and the leadwork around them are a common source of leaks. We repoint, re-flash and renew leadwork to keep them watertight.

Chimneys & leadwork in Bournemouth

The join between a chimney and the roof is one of the most exposed, leak-prone parts of any roof. Cracked mortar, perished pointing and failed lead flashing all let water in. We repoint chimneys, renew flashing and carry out proper leadwork to valleys and abutments.

Good leadwork is a skilled job and makes the difference between a roof that stays dry and one that keeps leaking — so we do it properly.

Common questions about chimneys & leadwork

Water is coming in near the chimney — why?
The chimney-to-roof join is one of the most leak-prone spots. Cracked pointing or failed lead flashing is usually the cause, both of which we put right.
What is leadwork?
Lead is shaped and dressed to seal joints around chimneys, valleys and abutments. Good leadwork is a skilled job and the key to a dry roof.
Can you repair rather than rebuild the chimney?
Usually yes — repointing and re-flashing solves most chimney leaks. We’ll advise honestly if more work is genuinely needed.
