Lead Work in Armathwaite
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 Armathwaite
Armathwaite 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. Armathwaite sits in the narrow Eden Gorge south of Carlisle, where the river cuts through red sandstone cliffs and the village clusters around a small castle. The stone cottages and surrounding farmsteads here are solid-fuel Aga and open-fire country — a landscape where the chimney sweep's visit is still a routine part of the winter calendar.
