Leak repair
Leaky roof stacks can prove costly if not repaired early on. They can cause major structural issues if allowed to travel and not repaired. Chimney stacks may also move and fall onto persons or property below, causing critical or life changing injuries. At Essex and London Construction, we can therefore repair your leak early on, using sealant, resin infill or masonry services, to prevent major issues from developing.

As flues and stacks corrode, the fire can escape and travel into other parts of the property. At Essex and London Construction, we can therefore provide line or reline a stack to provide fire retardant insulation. Therefore, in the event a stack or ducting become faulty, the risk of fire spreading is reduced.
