Chimney Experts In East Sussex and Kent
At R&A Roofing & Sons Ltd, we cater to all of your roofing needs, including chimneys and leadwork.
If your chimney looks unstable or the chimney brickwork is deteriorating, then it is imperative you call us today! We will quickly act to solve the chimney repair and make sure your roof is safe, secure and not a danger to you, your family or passers by.
Many problems can happen to chimneys such as:
- Deteriorating brickwork that needs rebuilding and repointing
- Broken or chipped chimney pots that need repairing
- Chimneys that need to be completely dismantled due to non use or danger
Our work is of the highest quality and our aim is to make your roof safe and keep your chimneys in full working order.
Your chimney and leadwork are some of the most exposed parts of your roof. When mortar starts to fail, flashing lifts, or water begins tracking in around the stack, small faults can quickly become costly problems. Our experienced team carries out chimney repairs, leadwork repairs and full chimney restoration work with the attention to detail needed to keep your roof watertight and secure.
Whether you need urgent help with a leak, repointing to ageing brickwork, new lead flashing around a chimney stack, or repairs to flaunching, we provide straightforward advice, quality workmanship and a professional finish from start to finish.
- Chimney repairs: We carry out all types of chimney repairs, from minor maintenance to major remedial work. This includes damaged mortar joints, loose pots, cracked render, unstable stacks and long-term weather damage.
- Chimney stack repairs: If the chimney stack is deteriorating, leaning, or allowing water into the roof structure, we can assess the condition and recommend the most effective repair. Our chimney stack repairs are designed to restore safety, appearance and performance.
- Chimney repointing: Worn mortar joints are one of the most common causes of water ingress. We repoint chimney brickwork carefully to strengthen the stack and protect it against further weather damage.
- Flaunching repairs: Damaged flaunching around chimney pots can lead to water penetration and instability. We repair and renew flaunching to help extend the life of the chimney and keep everything sealed correctly.
- Leadwork and roof flashing: Lead roof details and roof flashing need to be fitted properly if they are going to perform in bad weather. We repair, replace and install lead flashing around chimneys, abutments and roof junctions to create a durable, watertight seal.
