Chimney Services in Lechlade-On-Thames, Gloucestershire

Ever noticed little bits of grit or mortar on your patio after a storm? That's usually a sign your chimney's joints are failing. When mortar wears away, it invites water ingress—which is just a professional way of saying leaks. Once moisture gets in, the winter frost can expand those gaps and cause the bricks to loosen. We specialise in repointing and flaunching (that's the sloped mortar at the very top that holds your pots in place). By raking out the old, failing material and replacing it with high-quality mortar, we restore the structural integrity of your stack and keep the rain out where it belongs.

The spot where your chimney meets your roof tiles is a classic culprit for damp patches appearing on your bedroom ceiling. This area relies on lead flashing to create a watertight seal. If your lead is cracked, weathered, or wasn't fitted correctly, you’re going to have a headache during the next downpour. We handle everything from step flashing on pitched roofs to soakers tucked neatly underneath. Our team treats leadwork like an art form, ensuring it’s not only functional but looks tidy against your roofline. It’s one of those jobs where doing it right the first time saves you a fortune in the long run.

Is there a strange whistling sound coming down your flue, or perhaps you're worried about feathered friends nesting in there? A simple chimney cowl or bird guard can make a world of difference. We supply and fit a variety of pots and cowls across Gloucestershire to help with downdraughts and keep debris out. If you have a redundant chimney that's no longer in use, we can also perform capping. This safely seals the top to prevent rain getting in, while still allowing enough ventilation to stop damp from building up inside your home. It's a small job that prevents big problems later on.

Lechlade is famous for its beautiful stone architecture and historic charm. Working on a period property in the Cotswolds isn't the same as working on a modern semi. We understand the specific needs of heritage buildings and the strict guidelines that often come with them. We use traditional materials and techniques to ensure any repairs blend in perfectly with the character of your home. From matching old stone to careful leadwork, we take pride in preserving the local aesthetic while providing modern-day weather protection.
