Chimney Repairs in East Ham
Repairing Chimneys in East Ham
On a London terrace, chimney stacks are often shared, sitting on the party wall with pots serving both houses. That makes repairs a matter for neighbours as well as for you. Ashlar Roofing repairs chimneys in East Ham, covering E6 and the wider London Borough of Newham, and can inspect a shared stack and explain what work affects each side. We can also describe the proposed work in writing for you to share with next door.
The most common jobs on older stacks are repointing, new lead flashing and renewed flaunching, with pots rebedded or replaced. Where one side of a stack has been repaired and the other has not, the difference often shows up as damp in one house only. Pots that no longer serve a fire can be capped with ventilation. We quote clearly for your side or the whole stack, so you and your neighbour can agree how to proceed.
What's included
What Chimney Repair Work Covers
The main parts of the job, each listed in your quote.
- Repointing worn or missing mortar joints, which keeps rain out of the brickwork and stops the stack weakening.
- New lead flashings where the stack meets the roof, the junction most often behind leaks near a chimney breast.
- Rebedding or replacing chimney pots, so they sit securely and are not a risk in high winds.
- Renewing or repairing the flaunching, the mortar cap around the pots that sheds rain away from them.
- Caps or cowls for unused flues, reducing rain entry while keeping enough ventilation to avoid damp.
- Rebuilding or reducing damaged stacks where repairs alone would not make them safe, subject to any planning requirements.
