Chimney Repair and Leadwork in Plaistow
A chimney repair starts with a close look at the stack, not a guess from the ground. When you book with Ashlar Roofing in Plaistow, we inspect the brickwork, pots, flaunching and flashings, and check inside for damp on the breast. We cover E13 and the London Borough of Newham for chimney work on houses, flats and commercial property. Photos from the inspection show you what we found, even on stacks you cannot see from the street.
Once the cause is clear, we explain the options. A leak at the flashing may need new lead dressed into the brickwork, while crumbling joints call for repointing and a loose pot needs rebedding. Where several faults are found, we explain which are urgent and which can wait. Access is part of the plan, as most stacks need a scaffold or a roof-mounted chimney scaffold. You receive a quote setting out the work and access, agreed before anything is booked.
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.
