Chimney Repairs & Lead Work in Newark-on-Trent
Lead flashings around chimneys and abutments on Newark-on-Trent homes need code-appropriate lead dressed properly, not silicone bodges. Around Newark Castle, the Market Place and the River Trent we repoint, reflaunch and refit leadwork across NG24, with photographs of the completed work because chimneys aren't easy to inspect from the ground.
