Chimney and Flashing Repairs in Lymm – Professional Roofing by Apex Roofing Cheshire
Apex Roofing Cheshire recently completed a chimney and flashing repair project in Lymm after a homeowner reported water marks appearing on their upstairs walls.

When this happens, water can easily find its way into your property, leading to damp ceilings, peeling plaster, and internal staining.
