Chimney repairs in High Wycombe: repointing, flaunching, pots, cowls, lead flashing and stack rebuilds, so the chimney stops letting water in. Ring 01494 292776 for a free quote.
Most chimney leaks start in one of three places: the lead flashing where the stack meets the roof, the cement flaunching round the pots on top, or mortar joints that have washed out. Water gets into the brick, runs down inside the stack and shows up as a damp patch on a chimney breast or a bedroom ceiling.
Steven's review on Google describes exactly that job: "the re-pointing and removal/replacement of the lead flashing around my chimney which was leaking. Since the work has been completed the leak has been fixed." He added that we "were able to fit me in at short notice".
We also take on the bigger structural work. Kerry's chimney stack had been partially removed inside the house, and we installed an internal support that a council building control officer inspected and passed. Pots, cowls and bird guards are fitted while the access is up.

The leak is fixed at its source, whether that is the lead, the flaunching or the brickwork.
Repointing a standard stack with new flaunching runs about £500 to £1,500, new lead flashing about £400 to £950 and a rebuild above the roof about £1,500 to £4,000 around High Wycombe. Pat's free quote gives you the real figure.
It comes down to one of three things: failed lead flashing, cracked flaunching on top of the stack or worn pointing. Pat checks all three and tells you which it is.
Yes. Taking a stack down below the roof line and tiling over it is a common job. If the breast inside has been removed, the stack needs proper support, which we install and building control can inspect.
Yes. Cowls, caps and bird guards, fitted while the access is up.
Yes. Our materials and workmanship are guaranteed.
I engaged Safetech Roofing to undertake the re-pointing and removal/replacement of the lead flashing around my chimney which was leaking. Since the work has been completed the leak has been fixed. Pat and his team were reliable, professional and were able to fit me in at short notice. I’m very pleased with the work they’ve carried out and would highly recommend.
Safetech Roofing completed a number of repairs to the roof and loft space in my house, as well as the installation of an internal support element for a partially removed chimney stack. The work was done to a very high standard and at the agreed quotation, which was good value. A council building control officer then inspected and passed the structural element of the works. When some queries were raised by building control, Safetech went above and beyond to help resolve them. The suggestions made by Safetech and their team all the way through were extremely knowledgeable and practical. They also actively discouraged me from carrying out unnecessary expensive work, and instead suggested a lower cost, simpler solution, which the building control officer then agreed with. Additionally, the scaffolding had to be left in place far, far longer than expected - this was due to delays on my side and Pat generously didn’t charge extra for this
I recently had a complete new re-roof done by Safe Tech Roofing, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, their professionalism was spot on. They explained everything clearly, provided a fair and detailed quote, and stuck to the agreed timescale. The team worked incredibly hard, kept the site clean and organised, and showed real attention to detail throughout the entire job. The quality of workmanship is excellent, the new roof looks fantastic and gives me complete peace of mind knowing it’s been done properly. You can tell they take real pride in what they do. Reliable, skilled, and trustworthy, I would highly recommend Safe Tech Roofing to anyone needing roofing work done. Top company. Top job.

We contacted the service about a roofing issue at our home and he came out the very next day to take a look. Even though the job was small, he was willing to take it on without hesitation. The work was handled professionally and in a timely manner. It’s not always easy to find someone who responds quickly and is willing to help with smaller projects. Highly recommended!
