Chimney Leak in Sunderland
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, out around Sunderland Enterprise Park, through Roker and Fulwell.
- 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
Sunderland-specific context
Salt-laden coastal air corrodes ferrous fixings and degrades old underlays quickly, so we always specify stainless or galvanised replacements close to the seafront. Coastal terraces in Roker and Fulwell, ex-colliery rows in Hendon and Pennywell, and 1960s semis through Castletown — many with original Welsh slate still in service.

Can the chimney be removed instead?+
Yes — sometimes the cheaper long-term answer. We'll quote both options and let you choose.
