Chimney Repairs

A chimney is the most exposed masonry on any Southampton property. It stands above the roofline with weather hitting it from every side, and it is where a large share of roof leaks actually begin – often showing up as a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling some distance from the stack itself.

The usual culprits are crumbling mortar joints, cracked or missing pots, and lead flashing that has lifted or been poorly dressed where the stack meets the roof. On the city’s older terraced stock, shared and party-wall stacks add a further complication, since the fault and the damage are not always on the same side of the wall.

The good news is that chimney problems are usually straightforward to diagnose and far cheaper to put right early than to leave. Repointing, recapping, new flaunching and correctly dressed lead flashing will normally solve it without touching the rest of the roof.
