PVC Fascia Boards, Soffits & Guttering

Chimney Repairs & Rebuilding
A chimney stack takes the worst of the weather, and the mortar holding it together slowly crumbles year on year. Left too long, spalling bricks and decayed mortar let water pour down the chimney breast and into your home. DB Building & Roofing carries out chimney repairs and rebuilds across Darlington, from repointing and re-flaunching to taking down and rebuilding unsafe stacks, so your chimney stays sound and weather-tight.
- Chimney stack repointing with weather-resistant mortar
- Re-flaunching the mortar cap that secures the pots
- Replacement or re-seating of loose chimney pots
- Chimney capping and cowls for unused flues
- Full or partial chimney stack rebuilds where the structure has failed
- Lead apron and soaker flashing dressed around the stack

Lead Work & Lead Flashing
Lead is the traditional, long-lasting answer to the awkward junctions where a roof meets a wall, chimney or valley, but only when it's specified and dressed correctly. Cheap, badly fitted flashings crack, lift and let water in long before they should. DB Building & Roofing carries out lead work across Darlington using the correct code of milled lead, dressed and fixed to British Standards so your roof stays weather-tight at every junction.
- Code 4 and Code 5 milled lead, specified to suit the roof pitch and size of the junction
- Apron flashings dressed to chimneys and abutments
- Step flashings cut and wedged into brickwork joints
- Lead soakers under slates and tiles where a roof meets a wall
- Lead valley gutters and linings
- Removal of failed mastic and old, cracked lead before re-dressing

Brickwork & Brick Repointing
Mortar joints are the first line of defence against the weather, and over the years they erode, crack and drop out. Once the mortar goes, rain soaks into the brickwork, frost gets a hold, and you're on the way to damp walls and spalling bricks. DB Building & Roofing carries out brickwork and brick repointing across Darlington, raking out the failed mortar and re-pointing the joints properly so your walls shed water and stay sound.
- Raking out decayed and recessed mortar to a proper depth
- Re-pointing with a weather-resistant mortar suited to your brickwork
- Matching the existing joint profile and mortar colour where possible
- Brick replacement where individual bricks have spalled or failed
- Honest assessment, only repointing where it's genuinely needed
- Tidy site work with full clean-down afterwards

General Building Maintenance
It's the small, niggling jobs around a property that, left alone, turn into bigger problems: a loose flashing, a cracked render, a sticking door, a dripping downpipe. DB Building & Roofing carries out general building maintenance across Darlington and the surrounding area, bringing the same reliable, tidy approach to everyday upkeep as we do to a full re-roof. One trusted local roofer for the jobs you keep meaning to get sorted.
- General property maintenance and small building repairs
