Blue Hawk Roofing Ltd repairs chimneys across the areas we cover. We deal with leaking chimney flashing, cracked flaunching, loose pots, tired pointing, damaged brickwork, worn leadwork and chimney stacks that need making watertight again.
Failed lead flashing, soakers or back gutters can let water track around the chimney.
Open joints and loose mortar allow weather into the chimney brickwork.
Cracked flaunching can let water sit around chimney pots and work into the stack.
Damaged bricks, loose pots and unstable sections need checking before they get worse.
Water around a chimney can come from more than one place. It might be failed lead flashing, cracked flaunching, loose pointing, damaged brickwork, a tired chimney pot or a roof junction that is no longer shedding water properly.
Blue Hawk Roofing checks the stack, leadwork, mortar joints, chimney crown, pots, cowls and roof junction before quoting. The aim is to repair the cause, not just hide the stain on the ceiling.
