Our Chimney Repair Services
Chimney Repointing
Over time, the mortar between chimney bricks erodes due to weather exposure. Failed pointing allows rainwater to penetrate the stack, causing internal damp and potentially destabilising the structure. We rake out the old mortar and repoint with high-quality, weather-resistant mortar matched to your existing brickwork.
Lead Flashing Repairs & Replacement
Lead flashing is the waterproof seal where your chimney meets the roof. When flashing cracks, lifts, or corrodes, water gets in and causes leaks inside your home. We repair or replace chimney flashing using code-compliant lead sheet, properly dressed and sealed for long-term protection.
We also provide specialist leadwork services across Manchester.
Chimney Stack Rebuilds
Badly damaged or leaning chimney stacks can pose a serious safety hazard, especially during storms. If your chimney is beyond repair, we can partially or fully rebuild the stack using matching bricks and proper engineering practices.
Chimney Cowl & Cap Installation
Chimney cowls and caps prevent rain, birds, and debris from entering your chimney pot. They also help reduce downdrafts. We supply and fit a range of cowls suited to working chimneys, sealed chimneys, and gas flue systems.
Chimney Removal
If your chimney is no longer in use and is causing ongoing problems, removal may be the most practical solution. We safely remove chimney stacks down to the roofline and tile over the opening, leaving a clean, watertight finish.
