In Rotterdam, we recently performed maintenance on a chimney where the existing lead needed replacing. The old lead had developed cracks and developing leaks, meaning it no longer provided a watertight seal between the roof and the chimney.
To prevent future problems, we've chosen a sustainable lead alternative. This modern solution offers the same protective properties as traditional lead, but is lighter, low-maintenance, and more environmentally friendly.
The work consisted of removing the old lead and carefully cleaning the connections. Then, the lead replacement was custom-fitted and secured around the chimney, ensuring it was watertight. Thanks to the sleek and durable finish, the connection is now fully resistant to rain and wind.
Activities:
- Removing old lead around the chimney
- Cleaning and preparing connections
- Installing high-quality lead substitute
- Waterproof and neat finish
With this work, the house in Rotterdam is once again optimally protected against leaks and weather influences. The lead replacement also provides a long-lasting solution with a modern look.
