WHAT TO EXPECT
Chimney and lead details worth including
Chimney leaks can come from open joints, cracked flaunching, damaged pots, lead aprons, step flashings, soakers or nearby roof coverings. A clear description of the affected elevation and internal damp location helps narrow the first assessment.
Safe access is a major part of chimney work. Include the property height, roof shape, nearby extensions or conservatories and whether scaffolding has already been discussed. Final access requirements must be confirmed by the contractor.
