Signs You Need Chimney Repairs in Bradford-on-Avon

Most chimney leaks come from failed flashing, cracked flaunching or eroded pointing in Bradford-on-Avon. Bradford-on-Avon is a steep Bath-stone town tumbling down to the river — terraced weavers' cottages, stone-slate and clay roofs, and one of Wiltshire's densest listed-building cores. On this kind of stock, the common problems are conservation-grade stone-slate work, lime repointing on stone stacks, and moss on the shaded riverside terraces — and knowing which you are dealing with is the difference between a lasting fix and money wasted.
