WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
Chimneys and lead flashing play a critical role in protecting your roof from water ingress. Over time, mortar joints can deteriorate, brickwork can weaken and lead flashing can split or lift due to weather exposure.
At Lancashire Crown Roofing, we combine traditional roofing skills with modern repair techniques to restore chimney stacks and ensure all leadwork remains fully watertight.
Whether it’s a small repair or a complete chimney rebuild, our team approaches every project with care, precision and attention to detail to ensure long-lasting results.

FAQs
Chimney & Leadwork
How do I know if my chimney needs repairing?
Common signs include loose or missing mortar, damaged brickwork, damp patches around the chimney breast or visible gaps in the flashing. A professional inspection can identify issues before they become serious.
What causes lead flashing to fail?
Lead flashing can deteriorate over time due to weather exposure, movement in the roof structure and thermal expansion. Damaged flashing should be repaired or replaced to restore a watertight seal.
Can you remove an unused chimney?
Yes. We can safely dismantle redundant chimney stacks and make good the roof structure so it blends seamlessly with the surrounding roofing materials.
Do you provide guarantees for chimney and lead repairs?
Yes — all our chimney and leadwork repairs are covered by a workmanship guarantee for complete peace of mind.
