Chimney Leak in Chester-le-Street
Chimneys leak at three places: the flashing, the flaunching at the top, and the mortar joints in the stack itself. We identify which it is — usually by getting on the roof, not by guessing from inside — and quote for the actual problem. We're regularly on roofs close to the A1(M), through Pelton and Sacriston-edge.
- Lead flashing renewal (Code 4 or 5)
- Flaunching re-cast in proper sand and cement
- Repointing in matched lime or sand-cement mortar
- Pot re-bedded or capped where needed
- Scaffold or tower hire included in the quote
Chester-le-Street-specific context
Wetter than the coastal towns — guttering and valley clearance is a much bigger source of leaks here than wind damage. Stone-faced terraces around the historic centre, plus newer estate housing through Great Lumley and Pelton.
