James contacted us after experiencing ongoing issues with a leaking chimney and loose mortar on the stack. Water was finding its way in through the deteriorated pointing, and the chimney needed proper repointing to stop it for good.
Stop all leaks and redo the chimney pointing.
Every chimney restoration follows the same careful process, so nothing gets missed and the finished stack is built to last.
The deteriorated, loose mortar was raked out of the joints to leave a clean, sound base for repointing.
The stack was repointed throughout, sealing the joints and stopping water from getting in.
