Lead Work in Wigton
Wigton 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. Wigton is a Cumbrian market town southwest of Carlisle that has served the surrounding agricultural community for centuries — its market square and older stone properties reflect a town that grew around the farming trade. We visit Wigton regularly for chimney sweeping across the mix of terrace properties and surrounding farmsteads.
