Stone cottage, Hollin End ·
A chimney rebuilt and re-leaded
Crumbling pointing, cracked flaunching and bitumen-patched flashing: repointed, new flaunching and new lead.
- Time
- Two days
- Cost
- £1,280 including scaffold
The damp patch on the bedroom wall came from the flashing, patched with bitumen so often that water ran behind it. We cut it all out, repointed the stack in lime mortar, renewed the flaunching and dressed a new Code 4 lead apron and soakers.
