Chimney Repairs and Leadwork in Barnsley
Chimneys take more weather than any other part of the roof. We repoint, rebuild, re-flaunch and renew the leadwork so the stack stops letting water in.
- Repointing and rebuilding of chimney stacks
- New lead flashing, soakers and back gutters
- Flaunching and pots renewed or capped
The detail
Chimney Repairs and Leadwork in Barnsley: what is actually involved
Damp on a chimney breast or a stain around the stack is usually the leadwork, the flaunching on top or the mortar joints letting water in. On older houses around Barnsley it is often all three.
We repoint stacks with the right mortar for the brick or stone, rebuild the top courses where they have gone, renew the flaunching around the pots and replace failed lead flashing with properly dressed new lead. Unused chimneys can be capped and vented.
Chimney work always needs safe access, so it is a good job to do while scaffolding is already up for other work.

Questions
Chimney Repairs and Leadwork questions
The things homeowners ask us most, answered without the sales talk.
See all FAQsWhy is my chimney breast damp?
Usually water getting in through failed leadwork, cracked flaunching or worn mortar. We find the cause before quoting for the fix.
Can you remove a chimney I do not use?
Yes. Taking a stack down below the roof line and tiling over it is a common job, and it removes a maintenance problem for good. We check whether it is shared with next door first.
Should I cap an unused chimney?
Capping keeps rain and birds out, but it needs to be vented to stop condensation. We fit caps that do both.
