Keep the chimney and roof junction watertight
An ageing chimney can be a source of damp around chimney breasts and inside the loft. Deteriorated mortar and failed flashing at the point where the chimney meets the roof are common causes. Left unchecked, water ingress can damage both the chimney and the surrounding roof.
We assess the brickwork, mortar joints and flashing, then explain the appropriate work. This may involve repointing, replacing lead flashing or repairing damaged brickwork. Where a stack has deteriorated more seriously, a partial rebuild may be needed. The scope depends on its condition and safe access.
