Chimney repairs in RWB cover Victorian High Street properties requiring lime mortar, and estate housing requiring flexible polymer-modified mortar — we assess and specify correctly for each. RWB's exposed position means wind loading on chimney stacks is higher than in sheltered towns, and mortar fatigue at stack bases is more frequent.
Storm-related chimney flashing failures are more common in RWB than in valley towns due to the chalk ridge exposure. We carry code 4 lead and lime mortar for RWB chimney emergency visits. All chimney work includes a full stack, pot and flaunching inspection.

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.
