Repointing and masonry
Assess weathered mortar joints and the condition of the chimney brickwork; repair requirements and suitable mortar are decided by the stack condition.

CHIMNEY REPAIRS IN OSWESTRY
Chimney stacks are exposed to wind and rain from every direction. Defective mortar, loose pots, cracked flaunching and poor leadwork can cause leaks or loose masonry. If you need this roofing service in Oswestry or the nearby villages, call to discuss the work and access requirements.
Caps, pots and flaunching
Check pots, cowls, top bedding and chimney caps. Any proposed alteration should take account of ventilation and whether a flue remains in use.
Lead flashings
Inspect the lead apron, step flashings and back gutter where the stack meets the roof, including how flashings are secured into the masonry.

COMMON QUESTIONS
CHIMNEY REPAIRS: FAQS
Why is water coming in around my chimney?
Possible causes include defective flashing, deteriorated masonry, damaged caps or adjacent roof-covering faults.
Can you repoint a chimney without replacing it?
Yes, if the brickwork remains sound. A badly deteriorated or unstable stack may need more extensive work.
