- Water stains around chimney breast, failed lead flashing
- Loose or cracked mortar, chimneys needing repointing
- Lead lifting from roof, flashing deterioration

““We asked John to quote for a new tiled pitched roof with matching hanging tiles, chimney repointing and also treatment for our flat roof due to ongoing leaks.

John’s team were very polite and friendly, and when we needed to make decisions, we had pictures and videos to help. We would highly recommend John and his team for an excellent job, which has given us great peace of mind.” Customer in RH12
