Chimney Repair & Maintenance Gloucestershire

Due to the nature of the functionality of chimneys, the chimney stacks are normally exposed to the elements and are also exposed to the winds.

We usually find that a lot of customers forget about their chimney as it out of your sight and is high on the roof. The issue with that is when you do not pay attention and have regular checks or maintenance then loose pieces of masonry can go undetected and they can quickly become unstable. The loose pieces will need to be replaced at the earliest sign of deterioration in order to avoid a full repair.

Here at Summertown Roofing Company we usually advise our customers to have a yearly maintenance check in order to avoid any expensive surprises during the winter times.

Also we always make sure to use the best and highest quality materials to repair your chimney stack, and most often it only requires cement, sand and lime mixed mortar.

We at Summertown Roofing Company also specialises at re-pointing chimney stacks, be it an old or a new property.

More homes have been returning to the use of real fires, hence we are seeing an ever increasing demand for chimney stack repairs.

Chimney stacks are possibly the most vulnerable part of the roof so maintaining them, especially on older properties is very important. Obviously, as the highest part of the roof, chimney stacks tend to suffer the worst of the weather and weak spots develop over time especially to the leadwork that are at the base of the stack.
