The chimney repairs work itself
Chimneys are usually the most exposed part of any roof and the first thing to fail. We repoint cracked mortar joints, rebuild the top courses where bricks have spalled, renew lead flashings and aprons, and — when the chimney is no longer used — remove it cleanly back to roof level with the slates or tiles made good above.
How the chimney repairs job runs for letting agents
One phone number, one email inbox, one named point of contact. We work to whatever authorisation limit the agent sets and never quote the landlord over the agent.
Typical duration: 2–5 days depending on whether a rebuild or removal is needed.
