Our Chimney Services -
We offer a full range of chimney services to keep your chimney safe, secure, and weatherproof. Click on each service below to learn more:
Chimney Pointing
Repointing the mortar between chimney bricks helps prevent water ingress and structural weakening. Over time, weathered mortar can crack or crumble we carefully remove and replace it to restore your chimney’s strength and stability.
Chimney Flaunching
Flaunching is the mortar at the top of your chimney that holds the pots in place. When it cracks or breaks down, pots can become unstable and water can enter the stack. We repair or replace failing flaunching to keep everything secure and watertight.
Chimney Liner Installations
If your chimney is used for a solid fuel stove, fireplace, or boiler, a safe, properly fitted liner is essential. We install chimney liners to improve efficiency, reduce heat loss, and ensure safe operation.
Chimney Flashing Repairs
Lead flashing seals the gap between your chimney and roof. Damaged or lifted flashing can cause serious leaks. We inspect and repair flashing to prevent water damage and maintain a tight, weatherproof seal.
Chimney Height Reductions
An oversized or unstable chimney can sometimes be reduced in height to remove dangerous or redundant sections. We carefully dismantle and rebuild to the new height, ensuring the structure remains safe and compliant.
Chimney Removal
If your chimney is no longer in use or is beyond repair, we offer safe and controlled removal — whether it’s the full stack or just the portion above the roofline.
Chimney Cowl & Cap Installations
Cowls and caps help prevent rainwater, birds, and debris from entering your chimney. We supply and fit a range of options to suit open fires, stoves, or disused chimneys.

Why is Chimney Maintenance Important?
Your chimney is one of the most exposed parts of your property, constantly exposed to wind, rain, frost, and extreme temperatures. Without regular maintenance, small issues can quickly turn into major problems.
Here's why it matters:
- Erosion and Deterioration: Over time, weathering can weaken the structure of your chimney, leading to instability.
- Cracked or Missing Mortar: Gaps in the pointing allow water to penetrate and cause internal damage.
- Structural Damage: A neglected chimney can lean, collapse, or let water seep into your home — resulting in expensive repairs and safety risks.
