Leadwork and Chimney Repairs in Weybridge, Surrey & Hampshire
Delmere Projects Ltd carries out leadwork and chimney repairs across Weybridge and the surrounding Surrey and Hampshire area, including Chobham, Esher, Staines-upon-Thames, Windsor and Woking, covering both roof leadwork and chimney masonry, all quoted in writing before work begins.
Leadwork refers to the lead flashing, valleys and weatherings that seal the junctions on a roof, most commonly around chimneys, valleys and where a roof meets a wall or window. Chimney work covers the masonry itself, including repointing and stack repairs, since a chimney’s brickwork and the leadwork around its base need to be sound together for the roof to stay watertight.
Chimney Flashing & Weathering
The lead flashing around the base of a chimney, often called the weathering or flaunching, is one of the most common places a roof starts to leak, usually once the lead has perished, lifted, or was fitted poorly in the first place. Delmere repairs or re-dresses this flashing to seal the joint between the chimney and the surrounding roof covering.
Valley & Abutment Leadwork
Lead is also used in roof valleys, where two roof slopes meet, and along abutments, where a roof meets a wall, parapet or dormer. These are common points of failure since they carry more water than a flat section of roof, and Delmere replaces or repairs lead here to stop water tracking into the roof structure.
Chimney Repointing
Repointing replaces the mortar between the bricks on a chimney stack once it’s worn away, cracked, or started to fall out, which lets water into the brickwork itself rather than just the roof around it. Delmere repoints chimney stacks to match the existing brick and mortar rather than treating it as a purely cosmetic job.
Leadwork on New Roofs & Extensions
New leadwork is also fitted as part of new roof installations and extension projects, at the valleys, abutments and chimney junctions created by the new roof, rather than only as a standalone repair.

Choose Delmere for Leadwork & Chimney Repairs in Weybridge
Chimney stacks are among the most difficult parts of a roof to inspect safely, which is why Delmere uses drone surveys to assess masonry condition, cracking and mortar loss before recommending repointing, stack repair, or leadwork replacement. This avoids putting someone on scaffolding or a ladder just to get an initial look.
Delmere Projects Ltd is a family-run construction company based in Weybridge, led by director Daniel Cossette, who has more than 36 years’ experience across roofing and construction, and director Mel Morgan, who coordinates every project. All leadwork and chimney work is fully insured and quoted in writing before anything is booked in.
What Happens When You Book Leadwork or Chimney Work
Getting leadwork or chimney work started begins with a call or enquiry describing what you’ve noticed, whether that’s a leak near a chimney, damp on a chimney breast, or visible cracking and moss on the stack itself. Delmere carries out a site visit and drone survey to assess both the leadwork and the chimney masonry, and identifies whether the issue is repointing, a stack repair, or a leadwork replacement.
Once agreed, you receive a detailed written quote covering the work and materials before anything is booked in. Work is then carried out, with a final check to confirm the chimney and surrounding roof are sound and watertight before the job is signed off.
From free survey to finished room.

Cost, planning and what to expect.
If the mortar between the bricks is worn, cracked or missing but the bricks themselves are sound, repointing is usually enough. If the stack has cracked, leaned or lost bricks, Delmere will recommend a stack repair or partial rebuild instead.
Damp patches on a chimney breast, staining on ceilings near a chimney, or visible moss and cracked mortar on the stack from ground level are common warning signs. Delmere inspects both the leadwork and the masonry together, since the two are often connected.
Yes. Delmere carries out leadwork and chimney repairs across Weybridge and the wider Surrey and Hampshire area, including Chobham, Esher, Staines-upon-Thames, Windsor and Woking.
Leaks near a chimney are usually caused by failed lead flashing at the base of the stack, rather than a problem with the chimney's brickwork itself, though the two can be related. Delmere checks both the flashing and the masonry to find the actual cause before quoting.
In many cases, yes. Delmere uses drone surveys to inspect chimney stacks and leadwork closely from above, which is often safer and quicker than accessing the chimney directly just for an initial assessment.
