Lead Work in Irthington
Irthington 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. Irthington is a village along the course of Hadrian's Wall north of Brampton, where the older stone houses — many built from Wall stone repurposed over the centuries — typically feature original chimney flues and open fires that have been in continuous use for generations.
