Chimney Stack Repairs
A chimney stack stands proud of the roof on every side, so it weathers faster than almost any other part of the house. Mortar joints erode, the flaunching on top cracks, pots loosen and flashings lift. Left alone, those small faults let water into the brickwork and down into the rooms below.
Our team repoints stacks, renews flaunching, refixes or replaces pots, fits cowls and replaces failed flashings. Where a stack is beyond repair we can rebuild it, and where an unused chimney is no longer wanted we can take it down and make good the roof. We work in Beaconsfield, Gerrards Cross and further afield.
Chimney problems often show up first as a leak inside, and our approach to roof repairs shows how we trace water back to its source. Whatever is wrong with the stack, the cost is set out in writing and agreed with you before any of it is touched.

Chimney Warning Signs
Chimneys take the full force of wind and rain, and their faults are easy to miss from the ground. Look out for these.
Crumbling Mortar
Joints between the bricks that have eroded, crumbled or fallen out let water soak into the stack and weaken it over time.
Damp Chimney Breast
Damp patches or staining on the chimney breast inside, often near the ceiling, point to water getting into the stack above.
Cracked Flaunching
Cracks in the mortar cap around the pots let rain run down inside the stack and can leave the pots themselves loose.
Leaning or Loose Stack
A stack that has started to lean, or pieces of brick and pot found in the garden, needs checking before anything falls.

Why Trust Us with Your Stack
Chimney work happens high up on an exposed part of the roof, and it has to stand up to everything the weather brings. You get a team that plans it with care.
Matched Mortar & Brickwork
When we repoint or rebuild, we aim to match the colour and texture of your existing mortar and bricks, so the repair blends into the house.
