Expert Chimney Repair
Only a select few areas of any chimney stack requires any maintenance, namely the brickwork pointing and flashings. But it is imperative for a chimney to be well maintained at all times because without this, can create major problems if left to deteriorate and pose real danger to people who pass by your property. Because of a chimney's relentless exposure to the elements, the brickwork, stonework, mortar and lead flashing will deteriorate over time. When mortar crumbles away, the brick and stonework are left with no support and, in some cases, this can lead to your chimney collapsing.

Common chimney repair jobs
Crown Repair
If you are like most homeowners, you may not know what a chimney crown is. The chimney crown protects the chimney against harsh weather, but it also needs to be protected. Without protection, rainwater being absorbed by a chimney crown can eventually cause it to crack and deteriorate through freeze-thaw damage.
There are a couple of ways to repair a chimney crown. If it's suitable we can add a resurfacing material and then re-coat the cemented area. However depending on the extent of the damage, the crown may need to be replaced completely. When our chimney repair experts visit your property to assess your chimney, they will advise you on the best way to proceed.
Chimney Rebuilding
Although the thought of rebuilding your chimney might sound expensive, it is sometimes the most affordable option over repair work. This is most often true when a chimney needs several repairs at the same time and our chimney repair team will advise you as to the best option.
Waterproofing Your Chimney
The most significant damage to a chimney is caused by water, and the lack of waterproofing is often the culprit and this could be down to using cheap sealants and materials which degrade and allow water and moisture to get in and spread. The main signs of water damage is via white staining or dis-coloured masonry. If your chimney is showing signs of water damage, our knowledgeable chimney repair experts will be able to repair the damage and make sure that it doesn't happen again.
Chimney Flashing
If there is a problem with your chimney flashing, you will probably notice it in the form of leaks, stains on your walls and ceiling, or a tar like substance where your chimney and roof meet. If you have even the faintest suspicion that this might be the case, get in touch with us asap so that we can inspect and advise you accordingly. Dangerous materials such as, aluminium, lead and copper are often used by masons, and sometimes these materials can react badly and release toxins.
Chimney Re-pointing
Chimney re-pointing allows us to repair your chimney to its original structure and strength by removing and replacing damaged or missing sections of your chimney. Our skilled chimney team at The Harrow Roofers will re-point your chimney to bring it back to its former glory.
