Chimney Leak in Hetton
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 A182, through Easington Lane and Eppleton.
- 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
Hetton-specific context
Inland and elevated — frost-driven mortar damage is the recurring problem we see here. Compact ex-colliery terraces and 1970s estate housing on the surrounding fringes.
