Chimney Services in Tidworth, Wiltshire

If you can see the mortar between your chimney bricks starting to crumble or go sandy, it is a sign that water ingress isn't far behind. We specialise in chimney repointing, which basically means we rake out that old, failing mortar and replace it with fresh, durable material. It is a straightforward job that makes a massive difference to the structural integrity of your stack. Whether you have got a traditional brick chimney in the heart of Tidworth or a more modern setup, we will make sure it is solid enough to withstand whatever the British weather throws at it. Our team ensures the new mortar matches the existing style, so your home keeps its character while gaining a much-needed layer of protection.

The spot where your chimney meets the roof tiles is a classic weak point for leaks. This is where lead flashing comes in – it is that metal 'apron' that seals the gap and keeps the rain out. If your flashing is cracked or has pulled away, you are basically inviting damp into your loft space. Our roofing specialists are experts in leadwork, fitting everything from step flashing on pitched roofs to hidden soakers that keep the water flowing exactly where it should: into the gutters. We handle every detail with care, ensuring a permanent, watertight seal that you won't have to worry about for years. It is a small investment that prevents thousands of pounds in potential water damage to your home's interior.

Ever heard of 'flaunching'? It is the sloped mortar at the very top of your chimney stack that holds the pots in place and sheds water. Over time, this mortar can crack and break away, leaving your chimney pots wobbly or allowing water to seep down into the brickwork. We can strip back the old, cracked benching and bed your pots back in securely. While we are up there, we often find people asking about chimney cowls too. Whether you want to stop birds nesting in the flue or you are struggling with a pesky downdraught on windy Wiltshire nights, we can fit the right cowl to keep your fireplace or boiler venting perfectly. It is all part of a complete maintenance service that keeps your stack safe and functional.

Sometimes, a bit of repointing isn't quite enough. If a stack has become dangerously unstable due to age or storm damage, a partial or full chimney rebuild might be the safest bet. On the flip side, if you have modernised your heating and that old, leaking stack is just a maintenance liability, we also offer professional chimney removal. We will carefully take down the redundant stack, clear away all the rubble, and tile over the gap so it looks like the chimney was never there. It is all about what is best for your home and your budget – we will always give you honest advice on whether a repair, a rebuild, or a complete removal makes the most sense for your property in Tidworth.
