Chimney Repairs

Chimney stacks take the full force of wind and rain, making them a common source of roof leaks. Jdl Roofing provides professional repointing, flashing repairs, and chimney stack maintenance.

When You Need Chimney Repairs

Crumbled mortar joints between the bricks of your chimney stack. Damp patches appearing on walls directly surrounding your chimney breast inside. Loose or damaged lead flashing where the chimney meets the roof tiles. A leaning or unstable chimney pot causing concern.

How We Do It

We inspect the brickwork, mortar, flashing, and pot for signs of damage or wear. We rake out old, crumbling mortar and replace damaged bricks where necessary. We repoint the brickwork with fresh, weather-resistant mortar. We renew lead flashing and seal joints to ensure a watertight finish.

What to Expect

Most standard chimney repointing and flashing repairs take between 1 to 2 days to complete.
