Chimney Services in Stroud, Gloucestershire

Most homeowners we speak to only notice a problem when they find bits of old, sandy mortar on their driveway or patio. This 'crumbling mortar' is a classic sign that your chimney needs repointing. If you leave those gaps open, rain gets in, freezes, and eventually cracks the bricks or weakens the whole stack. We'll carefully rake out the failing joints and replace them with high-quality mortar, restoring the structural integrity of your chimney. It’s a simple bit of maintenance that can save you a fortune in emergency repairs later on. If you've spotted gaps in your brickwork, give us a ring on 0117 428 9043 for a quick look.

Imagine you've just noticed a damp patch appearing on the ceiling near your fireplace. Nine times out of ten, the culprit is the lead flashing where the chimney meets the roof tiles. This area needs to be perfectly watertight, using techniques like 'step flashing' and 'soakers' to guide water away. Our team are experts in traditional leadwork, ensuring that the seal around your stack is flexible enough to move with the building but tough enough to keep out the Stroud rain. We don't believe in quick fixes with tape or sealant; we do the job properly so it lasts for decades.

Is your fireplace redundant, or are you fed up with birds nesting in your flues? A chimney that isn't being used can become a major source of damp if it isn't vented properly. We provide professional chimney capping services that seal off the top while allowing the stack to 'breathe.' We also install a variety of chimney pots and cowls. A sturdy cowl is a great investment for preventing downdraughts and keeping pesky birds out of your chimney. It’s a straightforward job for us, and it makes a world of difference to the comfort of your home.

Sometimes, a chimney is just beyond repair, or perhaps it's standing in the way of your new loft conversion. If a stack has become structurally dangerous, the safest option is often to remove it. We handle complete chimney removals with total care, ensuring the remaining roof structure is reinforced and tiled over seamlessly. You won't even be able to tell where the stack used to be. From the initial survey to the final tile, we manage the whole process, so you don't have to worry about the safety of your property or your neighbours.
