Why Choose Us?
Noticing Damp Patches Near Your Chimney Breast?
Imagine you're relaxing in the lounge and you spot a dark, brownish stain appearing on the ceiling right next to the chimney breast. It's a frustrating sight, isn't it? Most homeowners we chat with in Ashfield tell us they didn't even know there was a problem until the rain started getting in. Usually, this is down to failed lead flashing or cracked mortar at the base of the stack. Because chimneys are so exposed to frost and high winds, small cracks can quickly turn into big leaks. If you've spotted a damp patch, or perhaps you've even found bits of grit and mortar on your driveway after a breezy night, it is definitely time to give us a call at 0115 647 1479 for a quick look. We'll carry out a thorough survey to find the source of the leak before it causes expensive damage to your interior plasterwork.

Who We Are
Precision Repointing and Brickwork Restoration
Have you ever noticed the mortar between your chimney bricks looking a bit sandy or falling away in chunks? This is what we call mortar decay, and it's one of the most common jobs we handle across Kirkby-In-Ashfield. When the mortar gets soft, water seeps into the joints, freezes, and then expands. This process, known as spalling, can actually snap the faces off your bricks, leaving the whole stack unstable. Our team specialises in professional repointing that stands the test of time. We don't just slap on some new cement; we carefully rake out the old, failing material and replace it with high-quality, weather-resistant mortar that matches your existing masonry. It’s a simple fix that adds years of life to your chimney and keeps the whole structure stable and attractive.

Lead Flashing and Weatherproofing Solutions
The area where your chimney meets your roof tiles is a notorious weak spot for leaks. This is where lead flashing comes in - it is the waterproof seal that keeps the rain out of your loft space. Over time, lead can crack, pull away from the brickwork, or simply wear thin after decades of service. If your flashing has failed, you're essentially leaving a gap for water to pour straight into your home's structure. We are experts at professional leadwork, ensuring that every piece is neatly dressed and tucked into the mortar joints. It is about more than just function; a tidy bit of leadwork looks great and gives you the peace of mind that your home is properly sealed against the elements. We use the highest grade lead to ensure your repairs last for decades, not just a few seasons.

0115 647 1479Flaunching, Pots, and Chimney Capping
If you look at the very top of your chimney, you will see a sloped bed of mortar that holds the pots in place - that is the flaunching. Because it is completely flat to the sky, it takes a real beating from the rain and frost. If it cracks, water gets underneath and can loosen your chimney pots, which is a scary thought during a Nottinghamshire gale. We can re-bed your pots in fresh mortar and check the condition of your 'benching' to make sure everything is rock solid. Thinking about blocking off an unused fireplace? We also offer professional chimney capping and cowl installation. This keeps the birds out and prevents rain from falling straight down the flue, while still allowing the chimney to breathe, which is vital for preventing internal damp.
