Chimney Repairs across Reading and Berkshire
A chimney stack stands proud of the roof on all four sides, so it takes rain, wind and frost from every direction. We repoint washed-out joints, cut out and re-form cracked flaunching around the pots, re-dress the lead flashing, and rebuild the stack where the brickwork has gone too far. A stack that is no longer used can be taken down below the roof line and capped, or reduced and capped with a vented cowl.
Water getting in through open joints and cracked flaunching works down inside the brickwork and shows up as damp in the bedroom or in the loft beside the stack. Putting the stack right stops that at the source, protects the ceilings and plaster below, and keeps a disused flue ventilated so it does not sweat.
We tell you honestly whether the stack needs repointing, a partial rebuild or taking down, rather than selling you the biggest job. Scaffold is priced in from the start, the roof is made good over any opening, and the site is left clean.
We work across Reading and the RG postcodes in Berkshire, including Sonning Eye, Harpsden, Ibstone, Naphill and Bolter End. Ring 0118 963 9008 and you will get someone who knows the area.
