Our Services

Chimney Repairs

Chimney repairs deal with cracked pots, loose bricks, worn mortar and damaged crowns. These faults let water into the stack and down into the rooms below. Fixing them early keeps the chimney safe and dry. See our chimney repairs page for the common problems we deal with.

Chimney Removal

If you no longer use your chimney, chimney removal can stop ongoing repair bills and leaks. We take the stack down below roof level, tile over the gap and make the opening watertight. Some jobs remove the breast inside too. Read more on our chimney removal page.

Chimney Repointing

Chimney repointing replaces old, crumbling mortar between the bricks with fresh mortar. Worn joints let rain soak into the brickwork, which can cause damp patches on walls and ceilings. Repointing keeps the stack strong and weathertight. Our chimney repointing page explains how it is done.

Chimney Flashing Repairs

Chimney flashing is the lead strip that seals the joint between the stack and the roof. When it cracks or lifts, water gets in at the base of the chimney. We repair and replace flashing on all types of chimney. More detail is on our chimney flashing repairs page.

Chimney Rebuilding

Chimney rebuilding is needed when the stack is leaning, has serious structural damage or has lost too many bricks to repair. We take it down to a sound level and rebuild it in matching brickwork. Read about the process on our chimney rebuilding page.

Chimney Cowl Fitting

Chimney cowl fitting stops rain, wind and birds from getting into the flue. They also help draw on chimneys that smoke back into the room. We fit a range of cowl types to suit different flues. See the options on our chimney cowl fitting page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my chimney needs repointing in Salisbury?

Look for mortar that is crumbling, cracked or missing between the bricks. You might also see damp patches on a chimney breast inside the house, or loose debris in the fireplace. If the chimney is more than 15 to 20 years old and has never been repointed, it is worth having it checked.

Can you remove a chimney stack in Salisbury?

Yes. We can take a disused chimney stack down to below roof level and tile over the gap so the roof is watertight. If you also want the chimney breast removed inside, the structure above must be properly supported, and building regulations approval is usually needed.

How often should a chimney be repointed in Salisbury?

Chimney mortar often lasts several decades, but exposed stacks wear faster than the walls below. It needs doing when the mortar is soft, crumbling or missing between the bricks. We can check your chimney in Salisbury and tell you whether repointing is needed now or can wait.
