Chimney Services

Chimneys take more punishment than most Chimneys take more punishment than almost any other part of a roof. Sitting exposed above the ridge line, they're constantly hit by wind-driven rain, freeze-thaw cycles and years of weathering, and the mortar joints, flaunching and flashing around them are usually the first things to give way. A chimney in poor condition isn't just a cosmetic issue - it's one of the most common causes of leaks, damp patches and, in the worst cases, a genuinely unsafe structure standing above your home.

Leadwork treated as a specialism We look after chimneys across Surrey, from small repointing jobs to full stack rebuilds, and we treat leadwork around chimneys as a specialism in its own right rather than an afterthought. If your chimney is showing cracks, damp on the breast inside, or has simply been left unchecked for a few years, call us on 07566 234868 and we'll come and assess it properly.

Roofing Projects

Repointing & Flaunching Repairing cracked or eroded mortar joints and the flaunching at the base of the pots, stopping water tracking into the chimney breast and the roof space below.

Lead Flashing Properly formed lead flashing where the chimney meets the roof - the single most common source of chimney-related leaks when it's been poorly fitted or has simply aged out.

Stack Rebuilds & Pots/Cowls Partial or full stack rebuilds for leaning or structurally unsafe chimneys, along with pot, cowl and cap replacement to finish the job properly.

Our Process

How we approach every chimney job.

1

Inspection

A close inspection of the stack, flaunching, flashing and pots to identify the actual problem, not just the visible symptom.

2

Access

Scaffold or tower access arranged for safe, thorough work at height on the stack.

3

Repair or Rebuild

Repointing, reflashing, capping or a partial or full rebuild carried out to a proper standard.

4

Weatherproofing Check

A final check to confirm the chimney is fully weathertight before we leave site.
