My chimney is leaking — is it the flashing?

Often yes, but not always. We inspect the leadwork, flaunching and pots to find the true cause before quoting.

Can you remove a chimney I no longer use?

Yes. We carry out safe, tidy chimney stack removal and make the roof good afterwards.

Do you repoint old chimneys?

Yes. We rake out the old mortar and repoint with a mix suited to the brick or stone.

Is lead better than flashing tape?

Properly dressed code-compliant lead is the long-term fix; tape is only a short-term stopgap.

About Our Chimney Repairs & Leadwork Service

Chimneys are exposed to the very worst of the weather, perched above the roofline where wind, rain and frost attack the mortar, brickwork and lead flashings year after year. Left unchecked, a deteriorating chimney can let water pour into your roof space, stain your ceilings and even become a safety hazard. Our chimney specialists across Oxford and Oxfordshire repair, repoint and renew chimney stacks of every age and style, from Victorian chimneys on period terraces to modern stacks on new builds. We carry out mortar repointing to restore crumbling joints, brick and stone repairs to damaged stacks, and full leadwork renewal — replacing perished lead flashings and soakers with new code-compliant lead dressed correctly into the brickwork to form a permanent, flexible weather seal. We also re-bed and re-point chimney pots, fit new flaunching, and carry out safe, tidy chimney stack removal where a chimney is no longer in use and is causing ongoing problems. We always match existing materials and pointing styles so the finished work blends seamlessly with your property, and we photograph the problem before any work starts. If your chimney is leaking, cracked or looking past its best, we'll give you clear, honest advice and a clear, written quote.
