Faults developing in old chimneys are often a source of dampness and rain water ingress.

Accurate diagnosis of the problem is the first action.

We check for loose or damaged flaunching around the chimney pots, cracked pointing between brickwork courses, loose render and damage to leadwork flashing.

Shown here: replacement lead flashing and application of 'scratch coat' sand and cement render in readiness for top coat of render or pebbledashing, as necessary.
