Lead Work in Alston

Lead Work in Alston

Alston 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. Alston is one of the highest market towns in England, sitting above 900 feet in the North Pennines — a landscape of open moorland, lead-mining heritage, and stone-built communities that rely heavily on solid-fuel heating. The severe winters here mean wood-burners and solid-fuel appliances work especially hard, and annual servicing is critical for safe and efficient operation.
