Common Chimney Stack Repairs

Most chimney stack repairs undertaken for clients in East and West Sussex will focus on the following, but we are far from limited in what we can do for you. Every job starts with an initial consultation and site survey, where we gain safe access to the roofing structure and deploy our accredited personnel to take a closer look at the chimney, its condition and its structural integrity.

From there, we can recommend you a suitable form of repair.

Chimney Flaunching

Mortar at the top of the chimney stack secures the pots and helps to redirect rainwater. Over time, exposure to harsh weather can cause the flaunching to crack or crumble. Chimney stack repairs involve removing the old, damaged mortar and applying new layers to ensure a clean and watertight seal.

Chimney Pointing

The mortar between the bricks of the chimney stack can erode with age and weathering, leading to structural instability and water ingress. These chimney stack repairs involve raking out damaged mortar and refilling the joints with a fresh mortar to restore the chimney's integrity and prevent potential leaks.

Chimney Pots

These can become cracked or dislodged due to weather, wear and tear. A damaged chimney pot can lead to poor draft or blockages. Repairs involve either resecuring the existing pots with new mortar or replacing them entirely if they are beyond economical repair. We can also replace the cowls.

Chimney Capping

Essential for preventing rain, debris and pests from entering a chimney, a cap can become dislodged or corroded. Chimney stack repairs target capping and this involves securing a metal or concrete cap over the chimney top to provide protection against the elements and improve the draft efficiency.
