New Lead Flashing, Chimney Capping & Repointing Maccesfield

When it comes to protecting your roof from leaks, the details matter. At Apex Roofing & Guttering, we recently completed a full chimney upgrade including new lead work flashing installation, chimney repointing, and fitting new capping and pots—ensuring long-term protection and a clean, professional finish.

If your chimney is showing signs of wear or letting water in, this type of upgrade can make all the difference.

What Was Included in This Project?

This job involved a full chimney restoration to eliminate leaks and improve durability:

• New lead flashing installed around the chimney base
• Chimney fully repointed with fresh mortar
• New chimney capping fitted
• Installation of new chimney pots
• Full inspection and finishing for a watertight result

Why Lead Flashing is So Important

Lead flashing is what seals the gap between your chimney and roof. If it fails, water will find its way in—simple as that.

• Prevents water leaks around the chimney
• Protects roof structure and internal ceilings
• Long-lasting and weather-resistant material
• Essential for a fully watertight roof

Chimney Repointing for Strength & Stability

Over time, mortar between bricks breaks down due to weather exposure. Repointing restores the structure and prevents further damage.

• Strengthens the chimney structure
• Prevents water penetration
• Improves appearance
• Extends the lifespan of the chimney

New Chimney Capping & Pots

Installing new chimney caps and pots helps protect your chimney from rain, debris, and wildlife.

• Stops water entering directly into the chimney
• Prevents birds and debris from blocking flues
• Improves airflow and ventilation
• Enhances the overall look of the roof
