Chimney leaks are one of the most common jobs we do

Chimneys take a battering. The flaunching (the mortar cap the pots sit in) cracks, the pointing washes out, and lead flashings split or were never fitted properly in the first place. The result is damp patches on the chimney breast, water in the loft, or pots that are one storm away from coming down.

We'll get up, find exactly where the water is getting in, and fix that. If a chimney is no longer used, taking it down below the roof line and tiling over it removes the problem for good.

Common questions

Should I repair my chimney or take it down?

If you use the chimney or want to keep the look, we'll repair it. If it's redundant and keeps causing problems, removing it below the roof line and tiling over it is usually the best long-term fix. We'll give you both prices.

What if the chimney is shared with next door?

We'll check whether it's shared before we start. Shared stacks can still be repaired, or removed on one side, and we're happy to speak to your neighbour.

Do you need scaffolding for chimney work?

Usually, yes. Working safely on a chimney needs a proper platform. The scaffold is included in your quote, so there are no surprises.
