Lead flashing repair and renewal at chimney stack junctions — preventing the water ingress that causes staining and structural damage in Cumbria's wet climate.
Lead Work in Dalston
Dalston 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. Dalston is a market village southwest of Carlisle where older stone and brick terrace properties with open fires sit alongside more recently extended farmhouses fitted with multi-fuel stoves — a mix that reflects the wider pattern of Cumbrian housing we see across this part of the county.
