With regards to chimney repointing over time the mortar between the chimney brickwork can deteriorate exposing the very internal fabric of your property. This can allow water straight into your home. Repointing is the process of renewing these mortar joints to prevent water ingress.
- Rendering your chimney to make it even more water proof
- Capping- this is done when your chimney is no longer in active use and needs sealed to prevent future issues.
- Chimney pot replacement. This type of repair is commonly done after old terracotta chimney points have been damaged.
- Ventilation cap installation to prevent pigeons or other birds from getting in.
Occasionally if a chimney is badly damaged it may need stripped down and rebuilt. This is quite often a last resort if the existing structure has issues that make repair impractical or unsafe to do.
