Traditional masonry chimneys are constructed from brick, stone, or concrete blocks.

We secure loose pots, repair damaged flaunching and fit suitable cowls where needed. We help protect the top of the chimney from water, debris and bird entry.
We repair damaged chimney stacks, loose brickwork, cracked mortar, worn flaunching, unstable pots and weather-damaged sections. We make the chimney safer, stronger and better protected against water ingress.
We remove unsafe, unused or unwanted chimney stacks where required. We take the stack down safely and make good the roof area afterwards, matching the surrounding roof covering as closely as possible.
We rake out failed mortar and repoint chimney brickwork with fresh mortar. We restore strength to the joints, improve the appearance of the stack and help reduce water penetration.
We repair and replace lead flashings around chimneys, roof abutments, valleys and other vulnerable junctions. Our leadwork is carefully fitted to direct water away from the roof structure, helping prevent leaks and protect key roof joints.
We inspect the chimney, leadwork, brickwork, flaunching and nearby roof covering to find likely causes of leaks. We then carry out the smallest repair needed to restore long-lasting weather protection.
We serve most postcodes including LN1, LN2, LN3, LN4, LN5 and LN6.
In Lincoln, from the Cathedral Quarter to St Catherine’s, we carefully match visible roof coverings on older homes in conservation areas and plan scaffold around tight frontages on steep, narrow streets. In outer areas such as Ermine or Birchwood, mixes of terraces, semis and bungalows mean we set access and material lifts to suit different eaves heights on the same job.

Came out to visit same day and had a good examination of our roof from the inside and outside. Was able to pinpoint the exact problem. He said he would be with me by 8am the next day and was on the dot. Took 2 days to complete and had no issues, excellent service.

Ben came round promptly, took his drone up to look at the chimney stack from every angle and gave a quote based on exactly what work was required. Work was completed to a high standard the following week. Would not hesitate to use again.
