Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my chimney needs repairing?
Common warning signs include cracked mortar, damp patches appearing on your interior ceilings, or visible debris in the fireplace. We also look for loose bricks or deteriorating leadwork which can compromise the structural safety and water-tightness of your home.
Do you work on listed buildings and conservation areas?
Absolutely. M&J Roofing and Property Maintenance specializes in heritage restoration. We use traditional materials like lime mortar and authentic lead fabrication methods to ensure all work respects historical guidelines and preserves the architectural character of your property.
How long does lead flashing last?
When professionally installed, high-quality rolled lead flashing can endure for over 60 to 100 years. Its exceptional durability and flexibility make it the most reliable material for protecting chimney junctions against the harsh British weather elements.
