Chimneys & Repointing in Chipping Norton & Oxfordshire

A chimney stack takes more weather than any other part of the house. It is exposed on all four sides, it has a flue running through it and the mortar in it is usually the oldest on the building. Once the joints go, water gets into the stack, and from the stack it gets into the roof and the bedroom below.

We repoint stacks that are sound and rebuild the ones that are not, down to a course that is solid and back up in matching material. The flashing where the stack meets the roof is renewed as part of the same visit, because it is the flashing and the back gutter that leak far more often than the brickwork itself.

Common problems

What usually goes wrong

Pointing over a stack that needs rebuilding

New mortar on a stack that has moved falls out within a couple of years.

How we handle itWe tell you which it is after looking at it from the scaffold.

Cement where lime belongs

Hard cement on old Cotswold stone traps water and spalls the face off it.

How we handle itMortar chosen to suit what the building is built from.

The flashing left alone

A beautifully repointed stack still leaks if the flashing is 40 years old.

How we handle itThe flashing and back gutter are done with the stack, not after it.

FAQ

Chimneys & Repointing: questions

Does the whole chimney have to come down?

Usually not. Most stacks are taken down to a sound course and rebuilt from there, and plenty only need repointing.

Can you point old Cotswold stone?

Yes, and in a mortar that suits the stone rather than a hard cement that would do it damage.
