Lead Work in Burgh by Sands

Lead Work in Burgh by Sands

Burgh by Sands 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. Burgh by Sands sits on the exposed Solway marshes where Edward I died in 1307 — the monument on the village green marks the spot. The coastal exposure here accelerates damp accumulation in unlined flues, and we recommend cowl fitting and annual sweeping as a priority for any property running an open fire or wood-burner on this stretch of the Solway Plain.
