Before we quote
What We Inspect Around the Chimney Stack
We check the part that looks damaged and the nearby roof details that may be causing or worsening the problem.
01Lead Flashing and Mortar
Aprons, cover flashing, soakers, mortar chases and pointing are checked for splits, gaps and movement.
02Surrounding Roof Slates
Loose or broken slates beside the stack can cause similar indoor damp signs.
03Chimney Movement and Cracks
Displaced masonry or a continuing crack can point to work beyond a simple flashing repair.
04Roof-to-Wall Joins
Every change of surface needs a continuous, correctly lapped weatherproof detail.
Roofing knowledge
How Flashing Keeps Roof Joins Watertight
Lead flashing forms a weatherproof bridge where the roof covering meets a chimney or wall. It must overlap slates or tiles correctly, be secured into sound masonry and allow rainwater to flow down the roof.
- Soakers protect individual slate or tile courses
- Step flashing follows the line of a pitched roof
- Cover flashing protects the top edge of the detail
- Lead aprons seal the lower face of a chimney
- Sound pointing and surrounding masonry complete the system

Roof details FAQs
Chimney and Leadwork Questions
These answers explain common questions before you request a quote.
Can you see a roofing problem?● Send us a photo
Why is water appearing beside my chimney breast?+
The cause may be failed lead flashing, damaged soakers, open pointing, cracked render, a chimney cap or a nearby roof problem. The whole join should be checked.
Can damaged lead flashing be repaired?+
Some limited problems may be repairable. Split, heavily patched or badly formed leadwork may need renewed to create a reliable join.
What are chimney soakers and stepped flashing?+
Soakers sit beneath the roof covering beside the chimney, while stepped flashing protects the joint against the masonry. They work together to direct rainwater onto the roof.
Do loose chimney bricks or pointing need urgent attention?+
Loose masonry can worsen in wind and frost and may create a safety risk. Keep clear of the area below and arrange a check rather than climbing up.
Can you repair the slates or tiles around a chimney?+
Yes, where local damage is found. Matching covering, battens, underlay and the lead join may all need considered as part of the repair.
Will chimney work require scaffolding?+
That depends on height, access and the work required. Chimney repairs commonly need a stable working platform because the stack sits at a high and exposed part of the roof.
Does every chimney leak require rebuilding the stack?+
No. Many leaks relate to local pointing, flashing or surrounding roof details. Rebuilding is only considered when the masonry condition justifies it.
