Specialist Leadwork & Chimney Repairs in Coventry
The points where your roof meets a wall or a chimney stack are the most common sources of leaks. This is where specialist skill and precision are essential. At L&D Sky High Roofing, we are master craftsmen in traditional leadwork and expert chimney repairs. We provide meticulous, durable solutions that ensure these critical junctions are completely watertight, protecting the integrity of your entire roof structure and preserving the character of your Coventry property.
Protecting the Most Vulnerable Points of Your Roof
For centuries, lead has been the premium material for sealing roof junctions, and for good reason. Its malleability allows it to be expertly shaped to any contour, while its durability provides lasting protection against the elements. Correctly installed lead flashing is the single best defence against water ingress.
Equally, your chimney stack is constantly exposed to high winds and rain. Over time, mortar can decay and brickwork can become unstable, creating a significant risk of leaks and structural failure. Our specialist repair service addresses these issues head-on, restoring the safety and performance of your roof.
Our Service Process
Step 1: Detailed Inspection & Diagnosis
We start with a close-up inspection of your leadwork and chimney stack to accurately identify the source of any leaks or deterioration, ensuring we recommend the correct, lasting repair.
Step 2: Skilled Repair & Craftsmanship
Whether it's replacing worn lead flashing with correctly bossed and welded new sections, or carefully grinding out old mortar and repointing a chimney, our work is performed to the highest technical standard.
Step 3: Final Weatherproofing & Checks
We ensure all new leadwork is perfectly sealed and that the chimney structure is sound and weatherproof. A final inspection guarantees the integrity of the repair for your complete peace of mind.
