A chimney is an integral feature of most properties, particularly older ones. Are you looking for a trustworthy roofing company that offers high-quality chimney repair and repointing services? Trust Michael's Roofing and Building to carry out any chimney repair and repointing job throughout South East London, Bromley, South Croydon, Beckenham, and the Kent areas.

As chimneys and flues age, they develop structural damage and lose their effectiveness in retaining heat, so they require regular chimney repairs to keep them performing optimally. Michael's Roofing and Building are often called upon to undertake repairs for structural damage to chimneys across West London areas.

When does chimney damage occur?

During the summer, and in an increasing number of homes in London and the UK, they are left unused, or even taken down if no longer in use. Even if it is not used, both the flue and the chimney must be properly maintained, and any chimney repairs must be undertaken.

Chimney Lead Work – Essential Protection for Your Roof

Chimney lead work plays a vital role in protecting your home from water ingress and structural damage. It involves the installation, repair, or replacement of lead flashing around chimneys to ensure a watertight seal between the chimney stack and your roof.

🔧 What Is Chimney Lead Work?

Chimney lead work typically includes:

• Step Flashing – fitted into brickwork joints (the “steps”) to direct water away.
• Apron Flashing – sits at the base of the chimney, covering the joint between the stack and roof.
• Back Gutters – fitted behind the chimney to channel rainwater safely down the roof.
• Side Flashing – ensures the sides of the chimney are sealed against the elements.

Each of these lead elements works together to prevent water from penetrating into your loft space or weakening the structure of your roof.

Why Is Chimney Lead Work Important?

• Prevents leaks and damp inside your home
• Protects masonry and timber from rot and decay
• Increases roof longevity
• Adds to your property’s value and energy efficiency

Without proper lead work, chimneys are one of the most vulnerable parts of a roof for water damage.

Repair or Replacement?

Lead flashing can last for decades when installed correctly, but over time it may:

• Crack or split due to weathering
• Pull away from the brickwork
• Corrode or develop pinholes

If you notice damp patches around your chimney breast, loose flashing, or visible gaps, it may be time for professional repair or full replacement.
