A damaged chimney can allow water into your roof, create loose or unsafe brickwork and cause problems with the surrounding tiles, flashing and roof structure. Roofers Watford provides professional chimney repair services in Watford and surrounding areas, from minor repointing and leadwork repairs through to more extensive chimney stack restoration.
We can inspect the condition of the chimney and surrounding roof area, identify the likely source of the problem and recommend the most appropriate repair.
Chimneys are exposed to wind, rain and changing temperatures throughout the year. Over time, mortar joints, brickwork and lead flashing can deteriorate and allow moisture into the property.
Our chimney repair work includes:
Mortar joints naturally deteriorate as they are exposed to the weather. Cracked, loose or missing mortar can allow water into the chimney stack and eventually contribute to damaged brickwork.
Repointing removes defective mortar and replaces it with new material, helping to restore the strength of the stack and improve its resistance to the elements. If only part of the chimney is affected, targeted repointing may be sufficient without the need for more extensive rebuilding.
The junction between a chimney and the surrounding roof is particularly vulnerable to water penetration. Lead flashing is used to create a weatherproof connection between the chimney stack and roof covering.
Loose, cracked or poorly fitted flashing is a common cause of roof leaks. We can inspect and repair the leadwork around your chimney or replace defective sections where necessary. If water is entering elsewhere on the roof, we also provide general roof repair services.
Where a chimney has suffered more significant deterioration, individual bricks may become damaged or sections of the stack may become unstable. In these situations, simple repointing may not be enough.
We can repair affected areas or rebuild sections of the chimney where required, restoring the structure and addressing defects before they develop into larger problems.
If you notice any of these issues, arranging an inspection early can help prevent further damage to the chimney and surrounding roof.
