Chimney Repairs & Leadwork in Eastbourne

Lead flashing, party-wall junctions, chimney pointing and roof abutments.

What we offer

Chimney Repairs & Leadwork: what to know

Chimney stacks and the points where a pitched roof meets a wall are common leak locations. Correct weathering involves more than applying sealant over old mortar.

Where a roof meets a neighbouring structure or party wall, we will discuss access and the appropriate scope before work begins.

We work across Eastbourne and nearby East Sussex areas. Every quotation depends on the property, access requirements and the condition of existing materials.

Detailed advice

Understanding the work before you book

A roof-to-wall junction is only as reliable as the detail that sheds water away from the opening. When a chimney or party wall leaks, the cause may involve lead step flashings, soakers, mortar joints, the adjacent roof covering or more than one of these.

We can discuss re-dressing sound lead, replacing failing sections or renewing pointing where inspection supports it. Simply coating a joint with sealant may hide a defect without solving the underlying weathering problem.

Where leadwork needs access over a shared boundary or where a neighbour’s wall is involved, permission and the relevant party-wall or property arrangements may need attention. Work should be planned after the existing junction is understood.

What to send when requesting an inspection

Send your East Sussex postcode, whether the issue is urgent, a brief description of the affected area and, if you have them, photos taken safely from the ground or indoors. Tell us about previous repairs or any existing workmanship guarantee. We will discuss next steps and whether an on-site visit is required.

Clear quotations for local properties

We aim to discuss the intended work, materials, safe access and any likely limitations before non-emergency works are agreed.
