  • Loose lead flashing

    I have lead flashing around the sides of my Chimney, from what I can see the flashing has fallen out of place apart from the very top section, which is the only thing holding it in place. Can I get it refitted without buying new lead?

    Chimney stack removal

    Can I conduct repairs and remove both my tall chimneys stacks on my roof at the end on my roof (2 storey detached house) without having to gain access to my neighbours property and erecting scaffolding over my neighbours adjacent flat garage roof which is structurally weak? Can I carry out my 2 chimney removals safely by erecting scaffolding solely on my side of my property?

    New roof and firewalls still leaking

    I have just had a new slate roof, but no flashing has been added to the parapet and firewalls. The roofer insists that this is a separate issue and not part of the roof. The firewalls are still leaking and he insists they need to be rerendered at an extra cost. Are parapets not part of the roof?
