Chimney repointing in Hertfordshire is one of the most common repair jobs we carry out. As mortar ages it becomes porous, cracks and eventually erodes - allowing water to penetrate the stack and work its way into the property. Early repointing prevents far more serious and costly structural deterioration.
We also repair and replace lead flashing at chimney bases - another common source of leaks where the original lead has lifted, cracked or been poorly installed. Properly dressed and secured lead flashing is essential for a watertight junction between the chimney stack and the roof covering.
Where a chimney has deteriorated more significantly, we can carry out partial or full stack rebuilds using appropriately matched bricks and mortar. We advise honestly on whether repairs or a rebuild represents the most sensible approach for your particular chimney's condition and age.
