Chimney repointing involves both repairing and replacing the mortar between the bricks of your chimney. The deterioration of this mortar is one of the most common problems that your stack will encounter over the course of its life. Neglected for too long, it can undermine the structural integrity of your chimney, causing serious damage to your property and risking your health and safety.
A professional repointing service will restore the structure of your chimney, leaving it safe and secure as well as improving its visual appearance. If you have any doubts about the condition of your chimney, then contact our team immediately to arrange a survey. It will be much safer and more cost-effective to have your stack repointed now before anything bad happens.
Given their location, chimneys are not the easiest thing to inspect. However, there are a few things you can keep an eye on from ground level that will help you to identify potential issues early. Signs your chimney needs repairing include:
If the structure of your chimney has been compromised, and there is moisture getting in, the entire stack can swell and contract. This will become noticeable in the form of uneven brickwork and even cracking.
This is also caused by moisture getting into your chimney. As the water seeps between bricks, it will leave white salt deposits called ‘efflorescence’, one of the leading signs that your chimney needs repairing.
If you notice any leaking, dripping or puddles inside your property around your fireplace, it is likely that your chimney is no longer water-tight.
Your chimney cowl is the main thing that keeps the elements out of your chimney stack. If it is visibly wonky or damaged, make sure you have it repaired as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your property.
Lead flashing is an important but often neglected component of any roof. It forms a seamless join between your roof and your chimney, protecting your slates or tiles and keeping your property weather-tight. Flashing is not just used around chimneys. It can be used at any joint in your roof, for example where your roof meets a wall or a window opening.
Here at JSI Roofing, we offer a comprehensive lead flashing service for new and existing roofs. Our team will carefully prepare the area, before cutting pieces of milled lead to the appropriate size. This can then be shaped and fitted to the roof, forming a smooth, waterproof seal. So, if you’re finishing off a brand-new roof, or your existing flashing needs replacing, you can rely on us.
