Lead Flashings & Lead Welding
A key part of any chimney’s weatherproofing is its lead flashing – the protective barrier that seals the joint between your chimney and roof. When this fails, leaks and damp patches often appear inside your loft or ceilings.
At The Roofing Company Essex, we manufacture and install all new lead flashings by hand using high-quality lead sheet. Every flashing is individually welded on-site, ensuring a completely watertight, durable seal around your chimney stack.
We never use cheap sealants or short-term fixes — our welded lead flashings are built to last decades, providing long-term protection against rainwater penetration and movement caused by temperature changes.
We also offer:
Step flashings, cover flashings, and soakers
Lead apron and back gutter installations
Lead repairs and replacements for old or split flashings
Traditional lead bossing and welding for detailed or heritage roofs
Chimney Repointing & Rendering
Over time, the mortar joints between chimney bricks can crack and deteriorate due to constant exposure to rain, frost, and heat. When this happens, your chimney can become weak, unstable, and prone to leaks.
At The Roofing Company Essex, we specialise in chimney repointing and chimney rendering to restore your chimney’s structure and protect it from the elements.
Our chimney repointing service uses high-quality cement or lime mortar, depending on your property’s age and brick type. This not only restores stability and appearance but also prevents water from penetrating the brickwork — protecting your roof and interior from damp.
For additional weatherproofing, we offer professional chimney rendering, applying a smooth, durable coating that shields your chimney from rain, frost, and UV damage. Rendering also provides a clean, modern finish, enhancing the overall appearance of your roofline.
Whether you have a traditional brick chimney or a rendered stack that needs refreshing, our experienced team ensures every project is completed to the highest standard.
