Leadwork & Pointing in Leeds
Old lead flashing cracks over time, and mortar fails – water finds a way in. We replace leadwork around chimney stacks and dormers, and re-point ridge tiles to stop leaks for good.
When You Need Leadwork or Pointing
Damp patches or water stains around your chimney. Cracked or loose lead flashing visible from the ground. Mortar crumbling between ridge tiles. Water running down the inside of the chimney breast.
How We Do It
Remove old or damaged lead flashing carefully. Cut and fit new code 4 lead flashing with proper overlaps. Re-point ridge and hip tiles with weather-resistant mortar. Check for any further issues before finishing.
What to Expect
Most leadwork and pointing jobs take 1–2 days, with scaffolding if required.
