Chimney Repairs and Leadwork in Newport
Living on the Isle of Wight means our homes are right in the firing line for whatever the Solent throws at us. If you've ever stood in the garden after a particularly nasty gale and spotted a stray bit of mortar on the grass, or noticed a damp patch creeping across your bedroom ceiling, you're not alone. Most homeowners in Newport don't think about their chimney until it starts causing trouble, but that tall stack of bricks is often the first place a leak begins. At Watertight Roofing, we've spent years climbing the roofs of Newport to keep chimneys safe, dry, and structurally sound.Whether you have a Victorian terrace near the town centre or a newer build out towards Carisbrooke, your chimney and its leadwork are the most vulnerable points on your roof. We don't just patch things up; we find the root of the problem and fix it properly. From a simple cowl installation to a full chimney rebuild, we're the local team you can count on to get the job done without the corporate fluff.
Why Choose Us?
Shielding your stack from coastal weather
The wind and salt air in Newport can be incredibly harsh on masonry. Over time, the mortar joints in your chimney stack start to perish, turning into a sandy mess that lets water seep into your loft space. This isn't just a cosmetic issue; if that water freezes and expands, it can actually crack the bricks and compromise the whole structure. Have you noticed any vegetation growing out of your chimney lately? That's a sure sign that moisture is trapped and the mortar is failing.Our team specializes in chimney repointing, using the right mortar mixes to ensure a long-lasting finish that stands up to the elements. We also look at the flaunching—that's the sloped concrete at the very top that holds the pots in place. If it's cracked, it's basically a funnel for rainwater. We'll strip back the old, crumbly stuff and lay down a fresh, smooth bed to keep everything secure. It’s all about preventative maintenance; spending a little now on a survey can save you a massive headache and a much bigger bill down the road.

Who We Are
Leadwork: the roof's primary defence
If the tiles are the skin of your roof, the leadwork is the muscle that keeps the joints watertight. It’s that grey metal you see tucked into the brickwork where the chimney meets the roof tiles. Because lead is flexible, it handles the 'thermal movement' of your house—how it slightly expands and contracts with the temperature—without cracking. But even lead has a lifespan. After a few decades, it can thin out or develop tiny pinholes that are almost impossible to see from the ground.We are leadwork specialists, not just general handymen. We use high-quality Code 4 and Code 5 lead, following traditional bossing and welding techniques to create a perfect seal. Whether it's step flashings, lead aprons, or intricate lead valleys, we ensure every joint is secure. We also apply patination oil to every new installation; it stops that annoying white staining you sometimes see on bricks and keeps the lead looking smart for years. If your lead is pulling away from the wall or looks wrinkled, give us a call on 023 9431 1818 before the next big storm arrives.

Capping, cowls, and chimney removal
Is your fireplace no longer in use? Many homes in Newport have redundant chimneys that just sit there collecting damp and nesting birds. If you're tired of hearing starlings in the flue or dealing with a constant cold draught, we can help. We offer professional chimney capping and the installation of bird guards and cowls. A good cowl doesn't just keep the rain out; it prevents downdraughts and keeps local wildlife from making a home in your stack.In some cases, if a chimney is beyond repair or simply isn't wanted, we can perform a safe and efficient chimney removal. We'll take it down below the roofline and tile over the gap so it looks like it was never there. It’s a great way to remove a potential maintenance problem for good. Whatever you need, we provide a free, no-obligation survey to look at the stack closely—sometimes even using a drone for those hard-to-reach spots—so you know exactly what’s going on up there without any guesswork.
