Chimney Services in Cirencester, Gloucestershire

If you've noticed little bits of mortar or stone on your lawn, your chimney might be shouting for help. This usually means the pointing is failing or the flaunching—that's the sloped mortar at the very top that holds the pots in place—is starting to crack. Once water gets into those gaps, it freezes, expands, and turns a small crack into a big problem. Most homeowners we speak to in Gloucestershire don't realise there's an issue until they see water ingress on their ceiling. Our team will rake out that old, crumbling mortar and replace it with high-quality materials designed to withstand the British weather. It's a simple bit of maintenance that can save you thousands in the long run by preventing a full stack collapse.

Nothing ruins a Sunday afternoon quite like spotting a damp patch spreading across your chimney breast. Usually, the culprit is the lead flashing. This is the waterproof seal where your chimney meets the tiles, and if it's perished or pulled away, you're going to have issues. We're specialists in traditional leadwork, from installing intricate soakers to fitting new step flashing that looks as good as it performs. We don't believe in quick fixes or 'bodge jobs' with sealant. We do things properly, ensuring the lead is cut, shaped, and fitted to create a permanent, watertight barrier that protects your home from the heaviest downpours.

Is a family of jackdaws trying to move into your flue? Or perhaps you're tired of that annoying downdraught blowing smoke back into the living room every time the wind picks up? Fitting a modern cowl or a new chimney pot can make a world of difference. We supply and fit a huge range of cowls designed to stop birds nesting and improve the draw of your fire. For chimneys that aren't being used anymore, we also offer a professional capping service. This safely seals the top to keep the rain out while still allowing just enough ventilation to prevent that musty damp smell from developing inside your house. It's an easy way to keep your home comfortable and pest-free.

Sometimes, a simple repair just won't cut it, especially with some of the beautiful heritage properties we have around Cirencester. If your stack is leaning or the bricks have become porous and unstable, it might need a partial or full rebuild. We'll match the existing style of your home so the new work blends in perfectly. On the other hand, if you've decided you'd rather have the extra space inside and want to remove an unused stack entirely, we can handle that too. We'll take it down safely, dispose of the waste, and tile over the gap so you'd never even know it was there. Safety is our priority, and we ensure every structural job meets the highest standards.
