Chimney Repairs in Stratford
Chimney Repairs in Stratford
Chimneys take the full force of the weather. They stand above the roof line, catch driving rain on every face and are the first part of a house to suffer when winter gales arrive. Brickwork, mortar, pots and flashings all weather faster up there than walls at ground level do. Ashlar Roofing repairs chimney stacks in Stratford, across E15 and E20 and the rest of the London Borough of Newham, on homes and commercial buildings.
Autumn is a sensible time to have a stack looked at, before the wettest months. Repointing open joints, rebedding loose pots and renewing tired flaunching all help a chimney cope with the winter ahead. Pots that are no longer used can be capped at the same time. If a storm has already dislodged a pot or torn a flashing, we can make it safe first and then plan the full repair. Every quote is agreed in advance.
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.
