Chimney Maintenance in Bristol
Chimney Repairs in Keynsham, Bristol and Bath
Your chimney is one of the most exposed parts of your roof. Constant wind, rain and frost wear down the mortar and brickwork, which can lead to structural problems and leaking lead flashings.
If your chimney needs repairing or repointing, contact us. We’ll carry out a thorough inspection and advise on the work required. If the stack is beyond repair, we can dismantle and rebuild it safely and efficiently.
Every repair is carried out by experienced roofers using quality materials, built to withstand the British weather.
Signs your chimney needs attention
Weathered mortar lets water into the stack, and over time the bricks can crack, flake or come loose.
This is a tell-tale sign that water is getting in somewhere, whether through the stack, the flashings or the roof around it.
When chimney pots sit on mortar that is wearing away, it may lean to one side. This creates a hazard, because it is at risk of falling in strong winds.
This indicated that the flashings may have lifted or cracked. This is one of the most common ways water gets in.
Roots work into the mortar and keep it damp, which widens cracks and speeds up the damage.
