Roofer in Ferring – Chimney Flashing & Leak Repairs
If a house is going to leak anywhere, it’s usually around the chimney. The junction between the chimney stack and the roof is sealed with lead flashing, and when that flashing splits, lifts or comes away from the mortar joint, rainwater runs straight down the stack and into the rooms below. Damp patches on a chimney breast are one of the most common calls we get — and one of the most misdiagnosed.
Evo Roofing repairs chimney flashing and traces chimney-related leaks for homes in Ferring and the neighbouring coastal villages, including Goring-by-Sea and East Preston.
Flashing and leadwork repairs we carry out
- Refixing and re-dressing lifted lead flashing
- Replacing split or corroded flashing around chimneys and roof junctions
- Repointing the mortar joints that hold flashing in place
- Repairs to valley flashings and lead aprons
- Investigating damp chimney breasts and finding the true cause
Is it definitely the flashing?
Not always — and that’s the point of looking properly. A damp chimney breast can also come from failed pointing on the stack itself, a cracked chimney pot or a saturated brick face. Repairing the wrong thing wastes your money, so we inspect first, tell you what’s actually letting water in, and quote for fixing that. If the leak turns out to be elsewhere on the roof, our leak detection covers that too.

Ferring roofing questions
Why is my chimney breast damp?
Usually failed lead flashing where the stack meets the roof — but sometimes failed pointing, a cracked pot or a saturated brick face. Repairing the wrong one wastes money, so we diagnose before we quote.
How much does chimney flashing cost to renew?
Typically £300–£800 depending on the stack and access. Free written quotes, and photos of what we find if you want them.
Can flashing be repaired rather than replaced?
Lifted or slipped lead can often be re-dressed and repointed; split or corroded flashing needs renewal. We’ll tell you honestly which yours is.
