Chimney Repairs in Southall
Chimney Repairs in Southall
A chimney pot that falls from a roof can damage tiles, cars or anyone below, which is why loose pots and crumbling stacks should not be left. Strong winds put extra strain on a pot that is already loose. If debris has already fallen, keep the area beneath clear until the stack has been made safe. Ashlar Roofing carries out chimney repairs in Southall, across UB1 and UB2 and the wider London Borough of Ealing, including making unsafe stacks secure on homes and commercial buildings.
Repairs left too long tend to grow. Open mortar joints let water into the brickwork, which spalls in cold weather and loosens more joints. Rebedding the pots, renewing the flaunching and repointing the stack while the brickwork is still sound keeps the job smaller. Where a stack is beyond repair, rebuilding from the roof line is explained and priced. We inspect first, explain what needs doing and quote, with the work booked once you have agreed.
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.
