Leadwork & Chimney Repairs in Guernsey
Specialist flashing, re-leading and chimney work, the bits that actually keep your roof watertight.
Where Most Roof Leaks Actually Start
The tiles themselves are rarely the problem, it’s the leadwork around the chimney, the valleys and the flashings against walls. Failed lead, cracked mortar and poorly bedded chimneys are responsible for most ceiling stains in Guernsey homes.
We’re specialists in traditional and modern leadwork, and we fix the underlying cause rather than slapping on more sealant. Done properly, good leadwork lasts 50+ years.

Lead Code 4, 5 and 6 to Spec
We use the right code of lead for each job, thinner codes for soakers, thicker codes for flashings and valleys. All leadwork is properly dressed, clipped, and patinated to prevent staining on stonework and render. Old galvanised flashings get replaced with proper lead or a high-grade lead alternative.
If your chimney is rocking, leaning or shedding pointing, get it looked at before winter. We’ll tell you honestly whether it needs a re-point, a partial rebuild or a full take-down.
