Chimneys are one of the most common places for a roof to leak, not because the brickwork fails, but because the lead flashing sealing it to the roof surface was never dressed in properly. We install chimney cowlings and precision leadwork around joints, valleys and stacks for properties across Bournemouth and the wider Dorset area.
We fit and repair chimney cowlings to keep rain and birds out of the flue, and carry out precision leadwork around stacks, valleys and roof joints, exactly the junctions where a roof most often lets water in. Every step is dressed and fixed properly, not just sealed over with mastic as a quick fix.
An unused chimney stack still needs weatherproofing even if the fireplace below is no longer in use, since it’s still a hole through the roof structure whether it’s ever lit or not. We treat capped and decorative chimneys with the same care as working ones.
We use code-compliant lead thickness on every job rather than thin, cheaper alternatives that fail sooner, and we’ll happily explain the difference if you’re comparing quotes.
Chimney and leadwork problems are easy to get wrong and hard to spot. Homeowners across Dorset trust Extreme Pro Roofing to dress lead properly and get to the real cause of the leak.
