Chimneys Fixed
Properly, For Good.
Chimneys take the worst of the weather on any property. Cracked pointing, failed flashing and missing cowls are behind a huge number of damp patches and draughts in UK homes.
What We Do
Everything Your
Chimney Needs.
Chimney Repointing
Crumbling mortar lets water straight into the stack. We rake out the old mortar and repoint with the correct mix for your brickwork — not a sand-and-cement bodge that traps moisture.
Chimney Cowls
A cowl stops rain, birds and debris getting into the flue, and can fix down-draught problems. We fit the right type for your flue and fire, not just whatever's on the van.
Chimney Flashing
The lead seal where the chimney meets the roof is the most common leak point on any property. We renew it in proper lead, chased into the brickwork and dressed by hand.
Chimney Rebuilds
Where a stack has deteriorated badly above the roofline, we can rebuild it — matching the existing brick, bonding pattern and finish so it looks like it's always been there.
Warning Signs
Is Your Chimney
Telling You Something?
Chimney problems rarely announce themselves. If you notice any of these, it's worth getting someone up there to look.
- Damp patches on the chimney breast or ceiling nearby
- Crumbling or missing mortar between the bricks
- Pieces of mortar or brick on the roof or in the garden
- Draughts or smoke blowing back into the room
- Birds nesting or debris visible in the flue
- Water staining running down the stack
- A chimney that leans or looks visibly unstable
- White staining (efflorescence) on the brickwork
