Chimney Repairs & Lead Work in Arnold
Lead flashings around chimneys and abutments on Arnold homes need code-appropriate lead dressed properly, not silicone bodges. Around Arnot Hill Park, the Daybrook Brewery building and Gedling Country Park we repoint, reflaunch and refit leadwork across NG5, with photographs of the completed work because chimneys aren't easy to inspect from the ground.
Local considerations for chimney repairs & lead work in Arnold
- Spotting whether persistent damp on a Arnold chimney breast is leadwork, flaunching or pointing — the three are routinely confused.
- Lifting and re-bedding pots that have moved over time on 1930s bay-fronted semis off Calverton Road, postwar terraces in Killisick.
- Re-pointing in a colour-matched lime mortar where the older streets around Front Street requires it.
- Fitting a cowl where birds and rain have been entering an unused Arnold flue.
