Leadwork & chimney repairs in London
Careful work at the junctions where roofs are most vulnerable, including chimney stacks, lead flashings, valleys and parapet details.
Small details. A significant role.
A sound covering can still leak at a poorly performing junction. Chimney flashings, abutments and valleys are all important parts of the roof’s weather resistance. We assess the surrounding construction as well as the visible defect.
Our roof-related chimney and masonry work includes repointing, flaunching, localised brick repairs and flashing repairs or replacement. Share the relevant pages of an existing survey if chimney defects have already been identified.
Leadwork and weathering
The proposed detail needs to suit the roof and allow the materials to work as intended. We discuss the surrounding covering and connections when assessing repairs or renewal.
- Chimney and wall-abutment flashings
- Lead valleys and gutter details
- Bay and small lead roof coverings
- Weathering around roof junctions
Chimney repairs
Deteriorated mortar, damaged flaunching and local brick defects may need attention alongside the flashings. We distinguish roof-related repairs from work that requires further structural or specialist assessment, and explain the proposed scope.
Make use of planned scaffolding
If a building survey has identified chimney and roof defects, share it before the quotation. Where practical, coordinating related work can help make effective use of access arrangements and reduce repeat disruption.

Your questions
A little clarity, before you decide.
If you have a specific concern about your roof, tell us when you enquire.
Can you review the chimney section of a building survey?
Yes. Email the relevant sections and tell us the property postcode. We can discuss the identified roof-related chimney and masonry work and any inspection needed before quoting.
Do chimney repairs require scaffolding?
Safe access depends on the height, position and proposed work. We assess what is needed for the property rather than assuming the same arrangement for every chimney.
Can the chimney work be done during a roof replacement?
Often it can be considered within the same programme. Share known defects at the outset so the scope and access can be planned together.
