Chimney Repairs in Camden Town

Chimneys are part of the character of older London streets, and in a conservation area changes to their height, pots or appearance may need approval. If you are planning chimney work on an NW1 property, Camden Council can confirm what applies. Listed buildings have stricter controls, and any work on them should be agreed with the council first. Ashlar Roofing repairs chimneys sympathetically in Camden Town and across the London Borough of Camden.

Older stacks were usually built with soft bricks and lime mortar, and repointing them with hard cement can trap moisture and damage the brick faces. We use mortar suited to the original construction, match bricks and pots where possible and renew lead flashings in the traditional way. Decorative pots and terracotta details are matched or reused where they are still sound. The quote lists the materials proposed, so you can check them against any guidance before work starts.
