Chimney Repairs in Cheshire

Chimney repairs and leadwork across Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and surrounding Cheshire. Ryan assesses the visible condition, explains the cause of problems and provides a written scope before work starts.

Leaks around the chimney

A chimney leak may come from damaged flashing, failed mortar joints, cracked flaunching or deteriorating masonry. We look at the chimney and its junction with the roof so the repair addresses the source of the problem.

What chimney work can include

Depending on the assessment and quotation, work may include renewing lead flashings, repointing suitable areas, replacing damaged bricks, repairing flaunching or fitting an appropriate pot or terminal. Safe access, scaffolding and waste removal are specified for your property.

Chimney removal and larger structural work need a separate assessment. We explain any requirements for supports, adjoining properties and permissions before agreeing that scope.

Care at the roof junction

We consider the condition of surrounding tiles or slates and the details that direct water away from the stack. If concealed damage is found during the work, Ryan explains it and agrees any additional repair with you.

Your questions answered

Does a leaking chimney need rebuilding?
Not always. A local repair or renewal of flashing may be suitable; the condition and cause determine the recommendation.

Can you work on a shared chimney?
We assess access and ownership with you. Any necessary agreement with the adjoining owner should be settled before work starts.

What information helps with a quote?
Send your property address, postcode, a description of the leak or concern, and photographs taken safely from ground level. Please do not climb onto the roof.

Ryan remains your point of contact throughout, with progress photographs and any applicable written guarantee confirmed in your quotation.
