How can we service your chimney?

There are many ways we can service chimney’s in London. There are some basic things that we can do to repair your chimney in order to avoid big chimney renovation costs. One thing that we need to monitor is cracks on the chimneys. Small cracks are easy to fill. To fill in the cracks on the chimney we can use chimney mortar which, helps hold the bricks together. Another solution to cracks in your chimney is using sealant. Sealant is a perfect solution for those hairline cracks. However, when mortar and sealant do not fix the problem, sometimes it is best to replace the damaged brick with a brand new one. Replacing old cracked chimney bricks with new bricks ensures maximum safety and it is a longer lasting repair. Now on to something that will help protect you from chimney leaks. Caulk is typically placed around the chimney flue and chimney crown, preventing water and moisture from seeping into your chimney and eventually into your home. Many of these solutions are non-invasive, simple and less expensive.

Our professional chimney fitters will tell you that fall and winter is not suitable for repairing and renovating your chimney in London.

Moreover, the cold and rainy weather during those seasons actually damage what was just fixed, making the process longer and more costly. The best time of year to get things done is during the summer time when the weather is pleasant and predictable.
