Marlow, Buckinghamshire

Chimney Flaunching & Pots

A damp patch high on a chimney breast inside a Marlow property usually means water is getting into the stack somewhere above the roofline. Eroded joints are raked out and repointed in a mortar chosen to match the colour of the existing work, so the repair does not stand out.

The days our roofers will be at your Marlow chimney are set out in a written schedule before work begins, the same as for homeowners in High Wycombe, Knowl Hill and Beaconsfield.

Chimney Repairs: How It Works

Our Chimney Repair Process

The stages below apply to most chimney work, though every stack has its own needs.

1

Inspect the Stack

We check the brickwork, pointing, flaunching, pots and flashings to see what has failed and what is still sound.

2

Price It in Writing

You receive a fixed written quote setting out each repair, the safe access needed and the days we plan to be there.

3

Repair or Rebuild

Loose mortar is raked out and renewed, flaunching and pots are reset, and flashings or brickwork are replaced as agreed.

4

Look It Over Together

With the stack finished and the rubble taken away, we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

Chimney Repairs FAQs

Chimney Repairs FAQs in Marlow

Do You Carry Out Chimney Repairs in Marlow?

Yes. Marlow is within the area our team covers, as are High Wycombe, Knowl Hill and Beaconsfield. We repoint brickwork, renew flaunching, reset or replace pots, fit cowls, renew flashings, and rebuild or take down stacks where that is the right answer. The free visit comes before any price, and the price you then receive is fixed and in writing.

Can You Remove an Unused Chimney From My Marlow Home?

Often, yes. An unused stack on a Marlow house can be taken down below the roofline, the opening covered and the slope tiled to match. Where the stack is shared with a neighbour or carries something inside, we explain what that means at the visit, before you decide anything.

What Is Chimney Flaunching?

Flaunching is the sloped layer of mortar on top of a chimney stack that holds the pots in place and throws rainwater off the top. Because it faces the sky, it takes the worst of the frost and rain, and it often cracks before the rest of the stack. Renewing it stops water getting into the stack from above.

How Do I Know If My Chimney Needs Repointing?

Look at the joints between the bricks. If the mortar has worn back, crumbled or fallen out in places, the stack needs repointing. Other clues include damp on the chimney breast inside or bits of mortar collecting on the roof or the ground. We can check closely from the roof and tell you how much needs doing.

Do I Need a Cowl on My Chimney?

A cowl or cap stops rain, birds and debris getting into the flue. On a chimney you no longer use, a capped top with ventilation keeps it dry while letting air move through. On a working flue the right cowl depends on the appliance, so we will ask what the chimney serves before recommending one.

Can You Remove a Chimney I No Longer Use?

Yes. An unused stack above the roofline can be taken down, the opening covered, and the roof tiled over so it matches the slope around it. A stack shared with a neighbour, or one that supports anything inside, needs more thought, and we will explain what applies to your house when we visit.
