Chimney Work
Chimneys are often forgotten about as they are often out of view or difficult to judge the condition from ground level. However as the highest point of your property the chimney stack takes the brunt of all weather conditions making them susceptible to damp problems, mortar/brick deterioration etc. Clearly it is best to maintain your chimney stack rather than leaving it until a problem arises. It is worth having a stack re-pointed and sealed rather than leaving it a few more years where it’s past the repair stage and has to be taken down and rebuilt at a far greater cost.
George Roofing undertakes all forms of chimney work from simply fitting a bird cage to prevent birds nesting through to reduce - rebuild or complete removal. Most common problems to look out for are mortar joints corroding away or falling out, flashing abutments between tiles and stack, either concrete flaunching or lead flashing.
