Chimneys take the worst of the weather and are behind many of the damp patches we see on chimney breasts and bedroom walls. Crumbling mortar, cracked flaunching and tired lead flashing all let water in, slowly and out of sight.
We repair, repoint and rebuild chimney stacks across Bristol, renew lead flashings to the right code, fit cowls and bird guards, and safely take down chimneys that are no longer needed.

Do I need scaffolding for chimney repairs?
In most cases, yes, for safety and to do the job properly. We arrange a chimney scaffold and include it in your fixed price.
Should I remove a chimney I don't use?
If a stack is in poor condition and you'll never use the fireplace, taking it down below the roofline and tiling over can end recurring leaks for good. If it's sound, capping it with ventilation is often enough.
Why is my chimney breast damp?
Usually failed lead flashing, porous brickwork or a cracked flaunching letting rain in, or an uncapped flue. Our inspection photos will show which.
