Chimney and Lead Work for Radcliffe-on-Trent Properties
Period homes and inter-war houses in Radcliffe-on-Trent frequently carry substantial brick chimneys, sometimes more than one, and these stacks are where weather does the most work. Crumbling mortar, cracked flaunching and worn lead are among the most common reasons a chimney starts letting water into a house.
Evans Roofing Services, based in Beckingham, repairs chimneys and does leadwork across Radcliffe-on-Trent and nearby villages. Because many local roofs combine old and new sections, the lead around stacks and between roof levels gets particular attention. Some stacks serve open fires or boilers, and those need pots and cowls chosen with the flue in mind.
Stack repairs and rebuilds
Defective mortar can be removed and the joints renewed with suitable materials, and cracked bricks and loose masonry can be repaired. Where the structure has weakened or the stack leans, a partial or complete rebuild may be needed following an assessment.
Pots and cowls can be replaced to suit the flue or appliance, and the crown and flaunching around the pots can be repaired. Where a stack is shared between two houses, any work should be agreed with the neighbour as well.

Lead aprons, soakers and stepped flashing
Lead is what keeps water out where brick meets roof, and on older houses with steep slopes and tall stacks it is a detail that needs care. We repair or replace aprons, soakers and stepped flashing where required, instead of sealing over a failing joint.
Call or WhatsApp Evans Roofing with photos of the chimney and any damp on the chimney breast, and we will explain what looks necessary and quote for it.

Chimney Repairs and Leadwork in Radcliffe-on-Trent: common questions
How do I know if my chimney lead has failed?
Look for lifted, split or dropped edges, daylight between the lead and the brick, and damp staining on nearby ceilings or chimney breasts. Photos help us give a first opinion. We will explain which of those apply to your roof when we have seen photos.
Should I have a leaning stack rebuilt?
A lean usually warrants a prompt assessment, because the problem can get worse. Whether it needs a partial or complete rebuild depends on the condition of the brick and the structure. We would rather check than rebuild a stack that does not need it.
