What chimney repair in Preston actually involves
Our typical Preston scope
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.
What's included
- Optional full removal back to roof level
- Repointing in lime or cement mortar to match
- Full scaffold or chimney scaffold
- New code 4 lead flashings, soakers and apron
- New chimney cap or pot fitted
