Crumbling chimney mortar raked out and repointed, so the stack stays sound and water stays out. A local, fully insured team with a free written quote.
A chimney stands higher and more exposed than any other part of the house, so its mortar takes the worst of the wind, rain and frost. Once the joints crumble, water gets into the brickwork and freezes, and the stack starts to shed bricks, loosen pots and let damp into the roof space and chimney breast.
We rake out the failed joints to a proper depth and repoint in a mortar mix matched to the age and type of brick, so the chimney is weatherproof again. We also check the flaunching, the pots and the lead flashing, and report anything that needs attention.
