What chimney repair in Ribbleton actually involves
Our typical Ribbleton 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
- New chimney cap or pot fitted
- Repointing in lime or cement mortar to match
- Brick rebuild of top courses where spalled
- Optional full removal back to roof level
- New code 4 lead flashings, soakers and apron
