Get a quote →Corsham's conservation area and Bath stone properties retain moisture differently to modern brick — damp penetration from failed mortar is faster on porous limestone. For chimney repairs work in Corsham, this means specification choices that reflect the actual conditions rather than generic Wiltshire averages.

Chimney repairs in Corsham's conservation area require lime mortar as standard — Bath stone and the local brick used on Victorian properties require NHL hydraulic lime, not cement. Cement pointing causes irreversible spalling on soft historic masonry and will be flagged by the Conservation Officer on any subsequent inspection. We carry lime mortar as standard stock for Corsham chimney visits and never use cement on historic masonry.
Lead flashing failures are the most common chimney repair call from Corsham — step flashings, soakers and apron flashings on clay plain tile roofs that have reached or exceeded their service life. We replace in code 4 lead as standard, code 5 on wider stacks and parapet gutters. All chimney work includes a visual inspection of the stack, pot and flaunching during the visit.
"Chimney repointing on Victorian terrace — NHL lime throughout, lime sand colour-matched to original. Conservation Officer confirmed the work met requirements at subsequent inspection."
"Lead valley and apron flashing replaced on a clay plain tile property. Code 4 lead, correctly dressed. Dry through two winters — the previous patch job had failed within a year."
"Flaunching cracked on both chimney pots — water getting into the stack. New flaunching in appropriate mortar, pots inspected and sound. Job done in half a day."
Always on conservation area and historic properties. NHL 2.5 or 3.5 hydraulic lime appropriate to the masonry — never cement on Bath stone, Cotswold limestone or original soft brick.

Open mortar joints, efflorescence (white salt staining), damp patches on the chimney breast inside, or ridge tiles slipping at the chimney junction are all indicators. We offer free chimney surveys — many issues aren't visible from ground level.
Like-for-like repointing in appropriate mortar doesn't require consent. Changes to chimney height, stack removal, or any alteration to a listed building requires listed building consent. We advise during the free survey.
Yes — pot replacement, flaunching renewal and cowl fitting are all part of our chimney service. We match original pot profiles on period properties where appropriate.
We inspect the accessible stack and pot externally and check the flue opening at the top. Internal flue inspection requires a chimney camera — we can arrange this if suspected blockage or flue damage is a concern.
