Common Chimney Problems
Damaged Mortar & Repointing
Weather erosion causes mortar to deteriorate, creating gaps that allow water ingress. Professional repointing restores structural integrity and weatherproofing.
Leaning or Unstable Stacks
Structural movement, weather damage, or deteriorated mortar can cause chimneys to lean. This requires immediate attention for safety and may need partial or full rebuilding.
Damaged Lead Flashing
The lead flashing around the chimney base prevents water entering where the chimney meets the roof. Damaged flashing is a common cause of leaks and damp.
Cracked or Missing Chimney Pots
Chimney pots protect the flue from weather and debris. Cracked or missing pots allow water ingress and reduce draught efficiency.
