Chimney Repairs - Afford Home Improvements Ltd

Chimney Repairs

Repointing, flashing, flaunching and full rebuilds carried out safely - stopping damp and decay before it spreads inside.

Chimney Repairs in Liverpool & Merseyside

Chimneys take the worst of the weather, exposed on every side. Cracked pointing or failed flashing is a common, and often hidden, cause of damp.

We carry out all aspects of chimney work - repointing eroded mortar joints, renewing the lead flashing where the stack meets the roof, re-bedding pots and renewing the flaunching, and rebuilding stacks that are leaning or beyond repair.

Because chimneys are awkward and high, we can use drone technology to inspect the stack safely and accurately, which often means we can assess the problem without the cost of scaffolding for the survey. Nothing gets missed and you see exactly what we see.

What's Included

  • Repointing of eroded mortar joints
  • New lead flashing and soakers
  • Re-bedding chimney pots and renewing flaunching
  • Partial or full chimney rebuilds
  • Capping of disused chimneys to stop damp
  • Drone inspection of the stack and surrounding roof

Leave a chimney too long and water gets into the brickwork and down into the rooms below. Catching it early keeps a small repointing job from becoming a full rebuild.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about chimney repairs - or get in touch for tailored advice.

How do I know if my chimney needs repointing?

Crumbling or missing mortar between the bricks, damp patches on the chimney breast inside, or debris in the fireplace are all common signs. A drone inspection lets us check the stack safely and show you exactly what's going on.

Can you remove or cap a chimney I no longer use?

Yes. We can take a redundant stack down to roof level and make good, or cap it with a vented cowl to keep rain out while still letting the flue breathe and avoid damp.

Do I need scaffolding for chimney work?

For the repair itself, safe access is essential and usually means scaffolding. For the survey we can often use a drone to inspect the stack, avoiding scaffold costs just to take a look.
