Is Chimney Repairs the Right Fix in Calne?

Most chimney leaks come from failed flashing, cracked flaunching or eroded pointing in Calne. Calne mixes a stone-built market-town core with Victorian terraces off the London Road and substantial post-war and modern estates on the edges. On this kind of stock, the common problems are nail sickness on the post-war estates, slipped tiles after wind, and failing Victorian leadwork in the older core — and knowing which you are dealing with is the difference between a lasting fix and money wasted.

What to Expect While We Work

Scaffold for a day or two and some noise during raking-out; we sheet the roof below and clear all debris and old mortar. You do not need to stay home for external work.

Chimney repairs run year-round except hard frost for lime mortar; we make safe and reschedule if the weather won't let mortar cure. Calne sits in the Marden valley, so low-lying properties hold damp longer and the exposed edges catch the south-westerly weather.
