Chimney Leak in Seaham
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 A19, through Dawdon and Parkside.
- 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
Seaham-specific context
Direct sea spray exposure — copper, lead and stainless steel hold up; mild steel fixings often fail within a decade. Coastal pit-village terraces, with a growing belt of newer estates near the marina and seafront regeneration.
