Chimney Repointing & Repairs

Tall Stacks Take the Worst of the Weather

The chimney stacks on Rathmines's tall Victorian houses stand high above steep roofs, often with several pots serving flats that no longer use open fires. They take wind and rain on every side, so the pointing washes out, flaunching cracks and the lead at the base lifts.

When damp shows on a chimney breast in a top-floor flat, we look at the whole stack before quoting. The written quote lists each item, which makes it easy for landlords and other owners to agree the work.

We work from the top down, dealing with pots, caps and flaunching first, then the brickwork and finally the lead.

Chimney Flashing Repairs in Rathmines

On steep roofs, the lead around a tall stack takes a lot of movement and weather. Where step flashings, soakers or the apron have cracked or lifted, we replace them with new lead cut to lengths that allow for movement and wedged into chases.

Chimney Repointing

Open joints on a tall stack let water into the brickwork and down into the flats. We rake out the tired mortar and repoint the stack in a mortar matched to the brick.

Chimney Stack Removal

If a stack serves flues no one uses and keeps causing problems, we can take it down above the roof, cap and vent the flue, and close the roof to match.

FAQs

Your Chimney Repair Questions Answered

Should unused flues be capped?

Usually, yes. A cowl or rain cap keeps rain out of flues that no longer serve a fire.

Can the quote be shared with other owners?

Yes. Each item is listed separately, so it is easy to agree the work.

What if the stack is too far gone to repair?

We can rebuild the top courses, or take the stack down above the roof if it is no longer needed.

How long does chimney work take?

Most stacks are done within a few days once access is up, weather permitting.
