The challenge

The repair scope covered the junction between the chimney and the adjoining roof. Existing cement fillets needed removal across six sides of the chimney, with tiles around the chimney opened up to allow the new lead details to be fitted.

Access was required from both sides of the property, so tower access formed part of the agreed works.

Work completed

The team stripped out tiles around the chimney and removed the existing sand-and-cement fillets. New lead front aprons and stepped flashings were then fitted around the chimney.

Local repointing addressed the areas identified within the same repair scope. Gutters on both sides were cleared as part of the associated roof maintenance.

Bringing the leadwork, pointing and gutter clearance together allowed the specified chimney-junction repairs and adjoining maintenance to be completed within one package.

Result

The agreed works were completed, replacing the existing cement details with lead aprons and stepped flashings and completing the associated pointing and gutter clearance.
