We also remove redundant chimneys where appropriate. ### Who it's for Homeowners with older properties, especially terraced and semi-detached houses common across Grimsby, Hull and Doncaster, plus landlords and anyone with damp on a chimney breast. ### When you need it When mortar joints are eroded, bricks are spalling, the stack leans, pots are loose, flaunching is cracked, or you see damp staining inside next to the chimney. ### Why use a professional Chimneys are exposed to the worst of the weather at the highest point of the house. Loose masonry is a safety hazard and needs scaffold access and masonry experience to repair correctly. Don't leave it ## What happens if it's ignored ### Falling masonry Loose bricks and pots can fall onto the roof, gardens or people below. ### Damp inside Water soaks through eroded joints into chimney breasts, staining walls and ceilings. ### Roof leaks Failed flashing around the stack is one of the most common causes of roof leaks. ### Costly rebuilds Leaving repointing too long can mean a full stack rebuild. ### Common mistakes we see - Painting over damp patches instead of fixing the chimney outside. - Using hard cement mortar on older soft brick, which causes the brick faces to crumble. - Ignoring a cracked flaunching because it 'only needs a bit of mortar'. - Leaving unused chimneys uncapped, letting rain straight down the flue.

In detail ## Chimney Repairs: materials, methods & options ### Repointing We rake out failed mortar to a proper depth and repoint with a mortar suited to the brick, finished neatly to match. Correct mortar choice matters: too hard and it damages older bricks. ### Flaunching, pots and cowls The flaunching sheds water off the top of the stack. Once cracked, water gets into the brickwork from above. We renew flaunching, re-bed pots and fit cowls or caps to stop rain and birds entering the flue. ### Chimney leadwork Lead flashings, soakers and back gutters seal the joint between chimney and roof. Split or slipped lead is a leading cause of leaks, and we renew it to a proper standard. ### Rebuilds and removals Badly leaning or deteriorated stacks may need rebuilding from the roof line. Redundant chimneys can sometimes be taken down and the roof tiled over, removing a maintenance burden. ### Chimney Repairs near you We're based in Grimsby and carry out chimney repairs across Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Immingham, Scunthorpe, Louth, Hull, Beverley, Doncaster and Goole.
