Waterproofing and Chimney Work

Chimney stacks and roof junctions are the most common points for rainwater to enter a home. Abode Construction provides expert chimney repointing, lead flashing replacement, and roof waterproofing across Leeds.

When You Need Chimney and Waterproofing Work

Damp patches appearing on upstairs walls immediately surrounding the chimney breast. Cracked, crumbling mortar joints between bricks on your chimney stack. Lead flashing pulling away from brickwork or roof tiles. Debris falling from the chimney stack into your fireplace or garden.

How We Do It

We inspect the chimney stack, pots, mortar, and lead work closely. We rake out damaged mortar and expertly repoint the brickwork. We replace worn lead flashings and valleys with high-grade lead sheet. We apply breathable waterproofing sealants where needed to protect vulnerable masonry.

What to Expect

Most chimney repairs and lead flashing replacements are completed within 1 to 2 days.
