Chimney repointing is the process of replacing the mortar holding the structure together in order to regain its original watertight qualities, and is something our team of chimney experts are well versed in. This can lead to moisture becoming trapped and causing further damage to the masonry, which will inevitably lead to higher repair works later down the line. Over time, and with the somewhat harsh weather conditions we can experience here in the South East, the mortar joints can become damaged and weakened. One of the main benefits to using lead is that it is more durable and resistant to corrosion and n properties where this is used, our team carry out specialist lead flashing repair services.Īnother important element of a chimneys external care is the chimney pointing, which is the mortar that lies between the brickwork, and as it has a much shorter life span than the bricks themselves often needs replacing within the lifespan of a chimneys structure. Flashing is most often made of a rust-resistant metal, and in some cases lead is used.

This is where professional chimney flashing repair services are required immediately before any further costs are incurred later down the line. With the continual impact of weathering, over time, flashing can become faulty or start to leak which can lead to further structural damage if not treated effectively. Where the chimney meets the roof, a system known as flashing is used to surround the joining and serve as a waterproof barrier to protect not only the chimney but also the structure of the roof. Chimney repair works often are carried out within the internal part of a building, however they can also find their way to the outside of a building to include chimney step flashing repair as well as other important aspects including back gutter and front apron repairs.
