Lead Work in Thurstonfield
Thurstonfield 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. Thurstonfield is a quiet agricultural hamlet between Carlisle and the Solway Plain, where the older farm cottages and converted outbuildings that are common in this part of Cumbria regularly run wood-burners and open fires through the long winter months.
