Chimneys & Leadwork for Inverness homes

Inverness winters are tough on chimneys. Frost breaks down pointing, and lead flashing around the stack can lift or split, letting water into the room below. We repoint, renew flashing and repair the details that keep the weather out.

From Victorian slate villas in the city centre to modern tiled homes on the outskirts, we repair and replace every common roof type found in Inverness.

What we cover

  • Chimney repairs and repointing
  • Lead flashing
  • Valleys, aprons and soakers

Signs to look out for

  • Damp on chimney breasts or around chimneys
  • Crumbling or missing mortar on the chimney
  • Lifted, split or missing lead
  • Leaks where roofs meet walls or valleys
  • Debris from the chimney in gutters or on the ground

How we work

Chimneys, valleys and abutments are where water most often finds a way in. We check the pointing and leadwork and repair or renew what has failed — from repointing a chimney stack to renewing flashings, aprons, soakers and valleys.

What affects the cost

  • The height and condition of the chimney
  • How much leadwork needs renewed
  • Access and any scaffolding needed
  • Whether matching materials are required
