Chimney Repairs in Berkshire

When the pointing washes out of a chimney or the flaunching around the pots cracks, water gets into the stack and tracks down inside the wall, often appearing as damp in a bedroom rather than at the roof.

We repoint and rebuild chimney stacks, renew the flaunching and pots, and fit or re-dress the lead flashing where the stack meets the roof. If a chimney is redundant, we can take it down to roof level or below and make the roof watertight where it stood.

Common questions

Chimney Repairs FAQs

Why is there damp near my chimney breast?

It is usually failed flashing or washed-out pointing letting water into the stack, which then tracks down inside the wall. Sorting the leadwork and brickwork stops it at source.

Can you remove a chimney we no longer use?

Yes. We can take a redundant stack down to roof level or below and make the roof watertight where it stood.

What is chimney flaunching?

It is the mortar cap that holds the pots and sheds water off the top of the stack. When it cracks, water gets in, and renewing it is a common part of a chimney repair.

Do you fit chimney cowls?

Yes. Cowls keep out rain and birds and can help with draught or damp problems. We fit the right type for what you need.

My chimney is leaning. Can it be saved?

Often it needs rebuilding from the point where the mortar has failed. We will tell you honestly whether a rebuild or a full removal is the better option.
