Chimney Repairs in Sheffield
Chimneys take the worst of the weather and are one of the most common sources of leaks. Crumbling mortar, cracked flaunching and tired lead flashing all let water in. We repair the stack properly, or take down a redundant chimney safely if that's the better option.

FAQs
Chimney Repairs: your questions answered
Why does my chimney breast have damp patches?
Common causes are failed flashing, porous brickwork, cracked flaunching or rain getting down an uncapped flue. An inspection from the roof usually shows which it is.
Should I cap an unused chimney?
Capping stops rain getting in, but the flue still needs some ventilation to avoid condensation. A vented cap is usually the right choice.
Can a chimney be removed?
Yes. A stack above the roofline can often be taken down and the roof made good, though conservation areas may have rules. Removing a chimney breast inside affects the structure, so it needs proper support and Building Regulations approval.
