Chimney Repairs in Hinckley & Leicestershire

Repointing, re-flashing, rebuilds and capping to keep stacks sound and dry.

Overview

About Our Chimney Repairs

A chimney takes the full force of the weather from every side, so it is often the first part of a roof to show its age. Eroded mortar and tired flashing are a common and preventable source of leaks.

We repoint, re-flash, rebuild and cap chimney stacks, and can remove or cap off a stack that is no longer in use, leaving it weathertight.

FAQs

Chimney Repairs: Your Questions Answered

Common questions about chimney repairs in Hinckley and Leicestershire. If yours is not here, just get in touch.

Why is my chimney leaking?

Chimney leaks are most often caused by eroded mortar joints or failed lead flashing where the stack meets the roof. Both are common with age and are usually straightforward to put right before they cause damp inside.

Can you remove a chimney that is no longer used?

Yes. We can take down a redundant stack and make the roof weathertight, or cap it off and fit a vented cover so it stays dry and ventilated if you want to keep it in place.

What is chimney repointing?

Repointing means raking out the old, eroded mortar between the bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar. It restores the strength of the stack and keeps water out of the joints.
