Chimney Repairs & Leadwork Done the Traditional Way
Leaking chimney or failed lead flashing in Oxford? Premier Roofing Oxford repoints, renders and repairs chimney stacks and replaces lead flashings, soakers, valleys and abutments. Chimney flashing repairs typically cost £150–£460 without scaffolding, and full chimney repointing £450–£1,200.
Chimneys and lead flashings are where most roof leaks on older Oxford homes start. Weathered pointing lets water soak into the brickwork, and cracked or lifted lead lets rain run straight into the roof. We repair stacks and dress new lead properly, and are rated 4.9★ from 190+ Google reviews.

Lead Flashing Done Properly
Lead flashing seals the joints where your roof meets chimneys, walls and dormers. It lasts for decades when it is the right thickness (code), cut into the brickwork correctly and dressed to shed water, but poorly fitted lead or the wrong code splits early.
On Oxford's period homes we work with traditional step flashings, soakers and lead valleys, using lead sized for each job.
- Step and cover flashings on chimneys and gable walls
- Soakers under tiles and slates at abutments
- Lead valleys, dormer cheeks and back gutters
- Lead welding and dressing for neat, durable joints

Chimney & Leadwork FAQs
How much does chimney repointing cost?
Minor chimney repointing typically costs £200–£350 and a full stack repoint £450–£1,200. Chimney scaffolding, if needed, usually adds £300–£600. We give a fixed written quote after a free assessment.
How much does it cost to replace chimney lead flashing?
A chimney flashing patch repair typically costs £150–£250 and full replacement £350–£460 without scaffolding, or around £700–£920 if scaffolding is needed.
Why is my chimney leaking?
The most common causes are cracked or lifted lead flashing, crumbling mortar, damaged flaunching on top of the stack and porous brickwork. Water can also enter through an uncapped chimney pot.
How long does lead flashing last?
Correctly specified and fitted lead flashing can last for decades. It fails early when the wrong code is used, pieces are too long and split with thermal movement, or it is not properly wedged into the mortar joints.
How long does chimney repointing take?
Minor repointing can be done in a few hours, while a full chimney stack repoint usually takes one to two days depending on access and weather.
Can you repair chimneys on listed or period buildings?
Yes. We repair chimneys and leadwork on period properties, matching mortar and materials as closely as possible, and advise if consent may be needed for listed buildings.
Do you do lead roof work other than chimneys?
Yes. We repair and replace lead valleys, abutment flashings, soakers, dormer cheeks and back gutters.
Do you offer free chimney assessments?
Yes. Chimney and leadwork assessments and quotes are free, with photos of the problem and no upfront fees.
