How do I know if my chimney is causing a leak?

Damp patches on the chimney breast, staining on the ceiling near the stack, or crumbling mortar and lead you can see from the ground are all signs. Chimneys are a very common entry point for water, so when we trace a leak the stack and its flashing are among the first things we check.

Can you cap off a chimney we no longer use?

Yes. Where a flue is no longer in use, a vented cap or cowl keeps rain and birds out while still letting the stack breathe, which prevents the damp and condensation problems that come from sealing it completely. We can advise on the right cap for your chimney.

Can you remove a chimney we no longer use?

Yes. Where a chimney is redundant we can take the stack down to roofline or below and make the roof good with matching tiles and new flashing, which removes a maintenance liability and tidies the roofline. We will talk through the options with you first.

Service

Chimney Work

Repointing, capping, lead flashing and stack repairs to keep chimneys sound and watertight, a common source of roof leaks.

Request a Quote

Chimneys take the full force of the weather, and they are one of the most common places for a roof to let water in. Perished mortar joints, cracked flaunching and failed flashing let damp track down into the roof and the rooms below, often showing up some distance from the chimney itself.

We repoint and repair chimney stacks, renew the lead flashing where the stack meets the roof, cap off unused flues, recast the flaunching that holds the pots, and rebuild stacks that are past repair. Where a chimney is no longer used, we can take it down and make the roof good.

If a leak points to the chimney, we will show you what we have found and set out the work plainly, so you know exactly what is needed and why.

What's Included

Repointing

Perished joints raked out and repointed so the stack sheds water instead of soaking it up.

Lead flashing

New lead flashing and soakers where the stack meets the roof, a frequent cause of leaks.

Capping

Unused flues capped with a vented cap or cowl to keep rain out while letting the stack breathe.

Flaunching & pots

The flaunching recast and pots or cowls re-bedded so the top of the stack stays sound.

Rebuilds & removal

Stacks rebuilt where they are past repair, or taken down and the roof made good where unused.
