Most Preston homeowners who call us about chimney repair have already had a quote that doesn't quite add up. We start with a free written inspection and explain — in plain English — what your roof actually needs and what it doesn't.
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
- Repointing in lime or cement mortar to match
- New code 4 lead flashings, soakers and apron
- Optional full removal back to roof level
- New chimney cap or pot fitted
- Full scaffold or chimney scaffold
