Malmesbury's exposed hilltop position means chimney stacks are subject to the strongest wind loading in our coverage area. This accelerates mortar fatigue at chimney bases and increases the frequency of flashing movement and failure. Annual or biennial chimney inspection is worth considering on Malmesbury properties with original leadwork.
Conservation area properties require lime mortar throughout. Estate housing uses flexible polymer-modified mortar. We assess and specify correctly for each property. All chimney work includes a full stack, pot and flaunching inspection during the visit.

Depends on the masonry. Victorian and historic brick requires NHL hydraulic lime. Modern post-war brick uses flexible polymer-modified mortar. We assess and specify correctly — wrong mortar causes more damage than no repointing.
Yes — all chimney repointing, reflashing and flaunching work requires scaffold for safe access and quality of work. Scaffold cost is always included in our chimney quotes.
Visible open mortar joints, white salt staining, internal damp at the chimney breast, or tiles slipping at the chimney junction are all indicators. We offer free chimney surveys — many issues aren't visible from ground level.
Yes — ventilated caps prevent water ingress while maintaining airflow. Full removal to roof level is also available. We advise on the most appropriate option based on stack condition and position.
A full repoint and reflash on a standard stack typically takes one day from scaffold. Flaunching only takes half a day. We give a clear timeline in every quote.
