Trusted Chimney Specialists
A damaged chimney can cause problems across the whole roof unless it is repaired. Damaged chimneys can take the form of loose brickwork, cracked mortar, damaged flashing, leaking etc. Over time this can cause a host of issues for the property including damp patches, mould as well as damage to the inside of the roof.
Chimneys experience wear because they are exposed to wind, rain and frost throughout the year. They sit above the roofline meaning they take the full force of poor and aggressive weather conditions.

Chimney Repointing in Harlow
Chimney repointing is one of the most common chimney repairs we are called out for. When the mortar between bricks cracks or decays over time, water can get inside and make the damage far worse.
During cold periods of the year, trapped water freezes and expands inside these gaps in the brickwork which can cause further cracking and more damage. The chimney becomes unsafe when in this condition which can then spread into the roof space. Needless to say this becomes a much more expensive job at this stage.
Our chimney repointing in Harlow involves our experts visiting the site and working to remove the damaged mortar, replacing it with new mortar that restores the chimney back to a strong and stable state. This has the effect of making the chimney more safe and improving the visual appearance too.
Signs your chimney may need repointing:
Chimney Flashing Repair
This is necessary when the leadwork around the base of the chimney has split or become loose. The purpose of flashing is to seal the join between the chimney and the roof.
This is a classic cause for why your chimney may be leaking. It is useful to note that people often spot leaking chimneys a while after they start because water can travel before it appears inside the property. Some signs to look out for are damp patches on the ceiling or staining.
Leaking Chimney Repairs
Common signs to look out for when trying to determine whether you have a leaking chimney include damp patches, ceiling stains and any signs of water damage inside the roof space. The cause of the leak could come from various sources. Some possibilities include cracked mortar, damaged flashing, loose tiles etc.
