Even the most solid built chimney will eventually become weathered after years of exposure to the elements. The pointing and leadwork of the chimney will deteriorate first, which can impact the structural integrity of the chimney stack.
If your chimney is looking worse for wear, contact Roof Repairs. Our company is a leading provider of chimney repairs in London. We work in both commercial and residential operating environments, installing beautiful chimneys that are durable, reliable, and affordable. Contact Roof Repairs on 0800 535 3597 or keep reading to find out more.
Leadwork is very common in chimneys on both commercial and residential buildings throughout London. You will see lead being used on all manner of buildings including churches, offices, homes, and factories.
Lead is commonly used because it forms an effective and durable waterproof bridge between the roof and the rest of the building. When it comes to chimneys, lead flashing is often used to prevent water from entering gaps around the chimney and making its way into the roof structure.
There are several benefits obtained by using lead. It is an extremely reliable material with excellent durability and eco friendly qualities. Lead is also flexible, which means it can be moulded to fit awkward spaces and follow the contours of curved structures. These attributes have made lead a popular choice in both modern and old buildings. You will often find lead used in combination with brickwork, concrete, clay, and slate tiled roofs.
We employ a team of experienced tradesmen with exceptional leadworking skills. They can incorporate lead into lead roofs, chimney flashings, wall flashings, gullies, gutters, ridges, hips, saddles, and more. Our tradesmen always follow several rules when working with lead:
Our company has been providing chimney and lead working services to commercial and residential clients in London for many years. During this time, we have established a reputation for reliability, quality, and professionalism.
We always use quality materials and produce work that is designed to last. All work is compliant modern construction standards and we use proven techniques to lay lead sheeting that lasts up to 150 years.
Lead is a remarkable material with an excellent lifespan, but it must be laid correctly to be effective. That’s why you should always use a professional roofing company like Roof Repairs UK.

Very fast response and reasonable quote
They did a great repair job clean and tidy arrived when they said they would. I would recommend them.
The tradesperson was very communicative and not into messing people around. I would seek his advice in future.
agreed to come, simply didn’t turn up or call until much later in the evening and promised to come next day. (repeat x3)
A great job done by an excellent team.
Very friendly service and quality work – would highly recommend!
We decided to put our trust in Mike after being let down several times by other builders, couldn’t be more pleased with the service from start to finish, excellent work.
Roofing and General building were not the cheapest quote we received but after meeting their representatives, viewing their portfolio and also seeing some of the work they had carried out locally, we felt comfortable they could handle what was a very large roof renovation project. It’s very early days but their work looks stunning. Highly recommend this company and look forward to getting them in for some of the other work we require.
We were recommended Roofing and General Building by a friend, when we contacted Michael they were very prompt and came round to fit some new fascias. The team were all very professional and the work was reasonably priced considering how high a standard everythging was. If we need anything done in the future we’ll be sure to contact Roofing and General Building again!
Overall very good and very pleased with the final outcome. Slight delay in starting the job but this was addressed with an apology and discount once my need for urgency was understood. The trader then did everything possible to complete the job as soon as possible to my satisfaction and even threw in some extras at a reasonable price. I would use them again.
Friendly, quick to attend, good price and competent on the job.

Very friendly, reliable and efficient service. We called them to give a quote for couple of jobs of which one was more urgent ie fixing the roof tiles back. They came on same day on a Saturday and fixed the tiles back. Really appreciated that they came on same day and resolved the problem quickly and efficiently.
Very friendly and polite staff. Job done in time.
They were amazing . I would highly recommend them.
I have employed the services of Roofing and General Building Services for the past 12 Months for maintenance and roof repairs on our rented properties through out London. Always on time and Highest standards of Workmanship, Id recommend these guys without hesitation, Thanks Again.
Great experience from start to finish, amazing work 🙂

Michael and his team offered a seamless service and at competitive prices. I would definitely recommend Roofing and General Building to cater for all roofing, cladding, guttering services. They're a team of professionals who understand customer needs before money.
Mike Marshall of Roofing and General building was both attentive and flexible, for example, he did not insist on building a tower scaffold just to inspect the roof. Many did. I find that helpfulness exceptional. His company did a good clean job, under complicated circumstances because my roof has 12 solar panels, within 5 days even though extra remedial work had to be done to the rotten joists which initially was unforeseen. So I definitely would recommend him. Suzy O'Shea, London E16
Our faulty roof was repaired in good time, I’d happily come here again for future roofing repairs and fittings, thanks again Michael.
He fixed the work the previous trader had done. It turned out that we didnt need to pay for so many repairs before as it just required a few new tiles
Very friendly and polite staff. Job done in time.
very happy with all aspects of Michael’s companies work,wouldnt hesitate to use him again

Very friendly and helpful. We appreciate Michaels efforts to fit our small but urgent job in between other jobs at short notice and he and Calum and Carl did an excellent job for a reasonable price. Thank you.
