Why Choose Our Chimney Removal and Repair Services?
Keeping Your Home Watertight with Expert Chimney Repairs
Most homeowners want to know one thing: is my chimney actually safe? Over time, the flaunching—that mortar cap at the top holding the pots—can crack, and the repointing between the bricks starts to crumble. This leads to spalling, where the brickwork itself starts to flake away due to frost damage. We specialise in making good these issues, using traditional lime mortar for our older Newent properties to ensure the building can breathe properly. From lead flashing repair to installing a new cowl or bird guard to keep the jackdaws out, we handle the small jobs that prevent big problems. Don't wait until you have a bucket under a leak; a quick bit of maintenance now can save a fortune on roofing repairs later.
Create More Room by Removing Unused Chimney Breasts
Think about how much space that old, redundant stack is taking up in your living room or bedroom. Imagine if you could finally fit that wardrobe or sofa where the chimney breast currently sits. Removing a chimney isn't just about knocking bricks down; it's a major structural building task. We manage the entire process, including the installation of the necessary RSJ (Rolled Steel Joist) to support the remaining structure. Because we're also experts in domestic renovations and bespoke carpentry, you won't be left with a messy hole. We'll plaster the walls, fix the skirting boards, and leave the room perfectly ready for your next decorating project. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to modernise your home and improve your thermal efficiency by removing a source of constant heat loss.
