Chimney Repairs & Repointing in Sedgefield

Disused chimneys in Sedgefield should still be capped and ventilated to prevent damp. We fit hooded caps that prevent rain ingress while allowing the flue to breathe — much better than fully sealing a flue and trapping moisture inside.

Why Choose Us for Chimney Repairs & Repointing in Sedgefield

Proper Scaffolding Always

We never cut corners on chimney access. Full scaffolding for safe work at height — included in every quote.

Right Mortar for Your Chimney

Lime mortar for older properties, modern mixes for post-war stacks. Wrong mortar mix accelerates failure — we get this right.

Code 4/5 Lead Flashings

Proper lead, dressed in and pointed correctly. Not the cheap aluminium tape fixes that fail within years.

Insurance-Claim Documentation

Written reports, photos and itemised quotes for storm damage claims. We can liaise directly with your insurer.
