Protecting Howth Homes From Chimney and Roof Leaks

Your chimney and its lead flashing do more work than almost any other part of your roof, and when they fail, water finds its way in fast. City Tech Roofing provides professional chimney repairs and leadwork across Howth and the surrounding area, from repointing and rebuilds to full lead valley installations and flashing replacement.

Cracked mortar, lifted flashing, or a damaged chimney pot might look minor from the ground, but left unchecked, they’re one of the most common causes of hidden roof leaks and damp. Our specialists carry out every repair with the precision this detail work demands, so your chimney stays secure, watertight, and built to last. Here’s how we can help.

Chimney Repairs

Signs Your Chimney Needs Attention

  • Cracked or crumbling mortar: Gaps in the joints let water straight into the brickwork
  • Damp patches near the chimney breast: Often the first visible sign of a leadwork failure
  • A leaning or loose chimney pot: A safety risk as well as a weatherproofing one
  • Green staining or moss on the brickwork: A sign moisture is sitting in the structure
  • Daylight visible around the flashing: Lead flashing has lifted or perished
  • Musty smell in rooms below the roofline: A sign water is getting in unnoticed

If any of this sounds familiar, it’s worth getting it checked before a small repair becomes a bigger one.

Our Chimney Repair & Leadwork Services in Howth

Chimney Repointing & Rebuilding

Mortar joints erode over time from weather exposure, letting water into the brickwork and eventually the chimney structure itself. We repoint eroded joints and, where damage is more advanced, carry out full structural rebuilds – restoring both the strength and the weatherproofing of your chimney stack.

Lead Flashing & Valley Work

Lead flashing seals the join between your chimney and roof, and it’s usually the first thing to fail. We install and replace lead flashing and valleys to the correct standard, stopping water ingress at one of the most common leak points on any roof.

Flue Liner Installation

A damaged or missing flue liner is a fire and carbon monoxide safety issue, not just a performance one. We install flue liners correctly sized and fitted for your chimney and heating appliance, in line with building regulations.

Chimney Pot Replacement & Mortar Crown Restoration

A cracked or unstable chimney pot and a deteriorating mortar crown both let water straight into the chimney structure. We replace pots and restore crowns to keep the top of your chimney fully weatherproofed.

Leadwork in Howth

Lead is what keeps water out of every joint on your roof where two surfaces meet – chimney to slate, roof to wall, dormer to tile. When it fails, it rarely fails obviously. You get a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling months before anyone thinks to look at the lead.

As leadwork contractors covering Howth and the surrounding area, we replace failed lead and install new to code 4 and code 5 specification, dressed and fixed properly rather than patched with sealant.

  • Lead Flashing Replacement: Old lead splits along the fold lines, lifts out of the mortar joint, or gets covered in sealant by whoever came before us. We strip the failed lead and replace it properly, chased into the brickwork and pointed, whether that’s chimney lead flashing, roof to wall abutments, or step and cover work on an extension.
  • Lead Valley Replacement: A lead valley carries more water than any other part of your roof, so it wears fastest. Cracks and thin spots let water straight into the roof structure below. We replace valleys with correctly sized lead over a new sole board, with the right laps and expansion allowance so it lasts rather than splitting again in a few winters.
  • Dormer, Bay & Porch Leadwork: Dormer cheeks, bay window tops and porch roofs all rely on lead detailing that has to be shaped on site. We handle dormer lead flashing, saddle and apron work, and lead cladding to bay roofs, dressed to fit the actual structure rather than forced into place.
  • Lead Roof Repair & Lead Flat Roofing: Lead flat roofs and lead covered sections outlast almost everything else when they are laid correctly, and fail early when they are not. We repair splits, failed welts and fatigue cracks, and relay lead flat roofs to the correct code and bay size for the span.

How to Tell If Your Leadwork Needs Replacing

Most leadwork gives you warning before it lets water in properly. Worth a look if you notice any of these:

  • Damp patches or staining on ceilings and walls near a chimney breast
  • Lead that has lifted away from the mortar joint or is held in with sealant
  • Visible splits, cracks or thin ripples along the fold lines
  • A chalky white deposit on the lead surface, or staining running down the brickwork below it
  • Loose or missing pointing along the top edge where the lead is chased in

If you have spotted any of these, we can take a look and tell you whether it needs replacing or just repointing. Call us on 01759359003.
