This is a chimney repair
A traditional York brick chimney stack following extensive repair and restoration works. The chimney has been carefully repointed, with the chimney head rebuilt and finished with new weather-resistant flaunching to securely support the original-style terracotta chimney pots. The completed work helps protect the masonry from water penetration while retaining the traditional character of the property.

As part of this chimney stack rebuild, a purpose-made lead tray was incorporated through the masonry to provide a secondary barrier against penetrating rain. This is an important detail when rebuilding exposed chimney stacks, helping intercept moisture that passes through the masonry and directing it safely to the exterior. With increasingly frequent periods of wind-driven and prolonged rainfall, robust secondary weathering details can significantly improve the long-term resilience of a rebuilt chimney.

Lead chimney tray installation as part of a complete chimney stack rebuild in York.
A bespoke ventilated lead cap installed over a traditional chimney stack in York. The lead covering provides robust weather protection to the chimney head, reducing direct rainwater penetration through the top of the stack, while purpose-designed ventilation maintains airflow through the redundant flues. This approach is particularly useful where chimney pots have been removed but the flues should remain ventilated, combining traditional leadwork with a durable solution for exposed chimney masonry.
