In addition to taking on new roof installations and repairs, the roofers here at JAH Roofing Specialists can also perform chimney repairs for domestic and commercial clients. This is an important service, especially for older builds if a chimney has compromised mortar, failed leadwork or a similar issue. Here, we look at the three most common reasons to use us for chimney repair services.
This is not an exhaustive list and other issues may arise.
Areas covered by our roofing company include:
Arundel | Brighton | East Preston | Woodingdean | Worthing
We also cover all surrounding locations in and around the Sussex area.
So, whatever is compromising your chimney, or if you have recently realised it has been a long time since your chimney underwent a thorough inspection or appropriate maintenance, please contact us today on 07897 606585.
There are three common chimney repairs undertaken by our company:
Flashing – A chimney’s lead flashing seals the area where it meets the roof, preventing any moisture from penetrating the roofline. Over time, leadwork can begin to deteriorate or suffer from damage, which leads to leaks and water damage. Dealing with this problem is one of the most common chimney repairs so give us a call now should you happen to be experiencing this particular problem.
We also repair or replace lead flashing around the joins of the roof.
Crowns – As the name suggests, the chimney crown sits at the top of the column. It has the job, much like the flashing that sits below it, to protect your chimney from the elements. And, much like flashing, it begins to crack and deteriorate over time. Should you be suffering from a leak originating through the chimney, we can investigate the crown and provide the necessary chimney repairs.
With repairs available in Arundel, Brighton, East Preston, Woodingdean and all areas near Worthing, we are well positioned to fulfil your requirements.
Masonry – JJust as the flashing and crown can deteriorate, so can the bricks and mortar that make up the chimney column itself. For obvious reasons, this can be very dangerous. Falling bricks could cause a fatal injury or damage vehicles and a property’s integrity irreparably. It is extremely important to call in a reputable roofing company to undertake appropriate chimney repairs when needed.
Should your chimney masonry be suffering, especially if the mortar has started to fail, we would be happy to provide a free, no-obligation quotation.
