Clitheroe Small Businesses — Chimney Repairs Done Properly
For a small shop, pub or office, a roof leak is a trading problem before it's a building problem.
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.
