Lead Work in Aikton

Lead Work in Aikton

Aikton customers looking for lead work turn to Sweep It Cumbria. Lead flashing seals the junction between your chimney stack and the roof covering. In Cumbria's wet climate, failed or cracked lead is one of the primary routes for rainwater into a property — staining ceilings, soaking roof timbers, and eventually tracking down to the chimney breast below. We repair and replace lead soakers, stepped flashings, and back-gutters at chimney stacks, using the correct grade of lead appropriately dressed and bonded to shed water clear. All lead is laid with the correct fall and overlap for long-term weathertightness in a high-rainfall environment. Aikton is a small agricultural settlement on the Solway Plain where farmhouses with solid-fuel appliances — Aga and Rayburn ranges alongside open fires — make up the bulk of our work in the area, alongside the associated flue sweeping that these appliances require annually.
