Specialist chimney work for peace of mind
Chimneys by their very design are vulnerable to water penetration.
That large chunk of masonry that protrudes through your roof relies on a number of component parts to keep it water-tight.
From the chimney cowl at the top to the lead flashing at the bottom , and everything in between.
If you have a chimney then it should be checked regularly as part of a roof maintenance programme to highlight any possible issues that need addressed.
Cracked flashings, loose or missing cowls, capped chimneys that need vented , loose pointing , cracked render and cement based mortars used instead of lime on stone-chimneys can all lead to damp and rainwater penetration.
Get your chimney checked now for peace of mind.
