Chimney Services in Trowbridge, Wiltshire

Have you noticed the mortar between your chimney bricks looks a bit like it's turning to sand? That's what we call crumbling mortar, and it's a sure sign that your chimney is losing the battle against the elements. Our repointing service involves carefully raking out that old, failed material and replacing it with fresh, durable mortar. It's like a face-lift for your stack that also happens to keep it from falling over. We don't just slap a bit of cement on top; we ensure the new mortar is perfectly suited to the age and style of your Trowbridge property. It’s a simple fix that prevents much more expensive structural repairs down the road. Why wait for the next storm to find out how weak it is? Call our friendly team on 0117 428 9043 today.

The spot where your chimney meets your roof is a prime candidate for leaks if it isn't sealed properly. This is where lead flashing comes in. It acts as a waterproof bridge, but over time, lead can crack or pull away from the brickwork. We specialise in installing and repairing step flashing and soakers that are designed to expand and contract with the Wiltshire weather. Imagine a heavy downpour in Trowbridge; without a perfect lead seal, that water is heading straight into your loft. We've got a dedicated team of roofing specialists who treat leadwork like the craft it is, ensuring your home stays bone-dry for decades. If you’ve spotted a leak near your stack, don't ignore it—let’s get it sorted before it ruins your plasterwork.

What's happening right at the very top of your chimney? The flaunching—that sloped bed of mortar that holds your chimney pots in place—often takes the worst beating. If it cracks, water gets in, freezes, and starts breaking things apart. We can repair or replace your flaunching to ensure your pots stay exactly where they should be. While we're up there, we often find that a new chimney cowl is just what a homeowner needs. Whether you're trying to stop birds from nesting in the flue or you're dealing with a nasty downdraught that's blowing smoke back into your living room, we can fit a cowl that solves the problem. It's all about making sure your chimney works exactly as it should, from top to bottom.

Not every house needs its chimney anymore, especially if you've switched to modern heating. An unused chimney can sometimes become a liability, causing damp issues or simply needing constant maintenance. We offer a professional chimney removal service for redundant stacks, taking them down safely and making the roof look as though they were never there. If you want to keep the stack for the look of the house but aren't using the fireplace, we can provide professional capping. This seals the top to keep the rain out while still allowing for essential ventilation to prevent damp from building up inside the flue. It’s a smart, cost-effective way to protect your Trowbridge property without the stress of ongoing repairs.
