Home/Services/Chimney repairs

Chimney repairs and rebuilds in Dublin.

Chimneys are one of the most common places for a roof to leak. We repoint, cap, re-flash and rebuild stacks, so the water stops running down the chimney breast and the stack stops shedding bricks onto the roof.

Chimney work

What we do to a chimney.

A stack takes the weather from every side. The mortar goes first, then the flashing, then the bricks. Caught early it is a small job.

Repointing

The old mortar raked out and the joints repointed in a mortar that suits the brick, so the stack stops soaking up rain and passing it into the house.

Flashing and back gutters

New lead flashing, soakers and a back gutter where the stack meets the slates. On older chimneys this joint is often the one that leaks.

Rebuilds

When the brick has spalled or the stack is leaning, it is taken down to sound brick and rebuilt, with a new cap and pots, and re-flashed into the roof.

Warning signs

Is the chimney letting water in?

Chimney problems often show inside the house before you see them on the roof. Any of these, and the survey will find the cause.

How it works

Survey. Price. Fix.

Step 1 · FreeSurvey

Jordan looks at the whole roof, from above with a drone where it helps, so the price is based on what is actually there.

Step 2 · ClearPrice

A written price before any work starts. If hidden damage turns up, Jordan shows you and prices it before going further.

Step 3 · Booked inFix

Fully qualified roofers, proper materials, and the site left clean when the job is done.

Pricing

How chimney work is priced.

The price depends on the height of the stack, how much needs rebuilding and the state of the flashing. It is written down before we start. If the stack turns out to be worse once work starts, Jordan shows you and prices it before any extra work.

Questions

Chimney questions.

What people ask when the damp patch turns out to be the chimney.

Why is my chimney breast damp if I never use the fire?

Rain gets into the stack through open pots, cracked caps and soft mortar, soaks down through the brick and shows on the breast inside. Capping the pots and repointing usually stops it. The survey will show which.

Is it the flashing or the brick?

Often both, but the flashing is a common first culprit. It is the lead joint between the stack and the slates, and on older houses it has often been patched with sealant for years. The survey looks at it from above.

Can you take the chimney down altogether?

Yes, if it is redundant. The stack comes down below the roofline and the roof is slated over. On a terrace the stack is often shared, so the neighbour is part of that conversation.

Do you need scaffolding for chimney work?

For a rebuild, yes. For repointing, capping and flashing it depends on the roof. Jordan tells you what the job needs when he prices it.
