Chimney Repairs

When weather erosion signs are found early on a chimney, it’s common to find mortar pulling away from the brick. This happens when extremes of weather cause the mortar joints and masonry to erode, resulting in small cracks that allow water in. After time the water penetrates and is allowed to freeze, which blows render and loosen mortar ultimately worsening the problem.

Where full Chimney rebuilds aren’t required, this problem can be fixed easily by repointing and re-rendering your Chimney. This involves raking out eroded mortar joints, any unstable or cracked areas of render, and repairing it with the application of new mortar and render
