Chimneys

A chimney takes the full force of the weather. Crumbling mortar, cracked tops and tired flashings let water in, and it often shows up as damp on a bedroom ceiling or a chimney breast. We repair, repoint and rebuild chimney stacks, cap off chimneys that are no longer used, and renew the flashings where the stack meets the roof.

Lead work

Lead goes where a roof meets a wall, a chimney, a dormer or another roof: flashings, valleys, aprons and small lead roofs over bays and dormers. We fit new lead and replace lead that has failed.

Questions

Common questions

Can you repair or rebuild a chimney?

Yes. We repair, repoint and rebuild chimney stacks, and renew the flashings where the stack meets the roof.

Why is there damp on my chimney breast?

Often because water is getting in at the stack: crumbling mortar, a cracked top or tired flashings can all let it in. We'll find where it's getting in and fix it.

Can you cap off a chimney I don't use?

Yes. We cap off chimneys that are no longer used.

What lead work do you do?

We fit new lead and replace lead that has failed: flashings, valleys, aprons and small lead roofs over bays and dormers.
