KEEP YOUR CHIMNEY WATERTIGHT.
Repointing, flashing, re-leading, and stack rebuilds. We fix chimney problems at the source — not just the symptom. Covering all of County Kilkenny.
IS YOUR CHIMNEY CAUSING PROBLEMS?
Chimney issues often go unnoticed until the damp spreads inside. Look out for these signs:
- Damp patch on the ceiling near the chimney breast
- Water stains on the chimney breast wall
- Crumbling or missing mortar visible from ground level
- Efflorescence (white staining) on the chimney stack
- Loose or missing flashing at the base of the stack
- Bricks that look darker or discoloured after rain
CHIMNEY REPOINTING
Crumbling mortar is the most common chimney problem in Kilkenny. We grind out the old, failed mortar and replace it with the correct mix — flexible enough to handle movement and weather.
FLASHING REPAIRS
Lead or aluminium flashing at the chimney base is the most likely source of water ingress around a chimney. We repair or replace failed flashing to stop leaks at the source.
RE-LEADING
Full lead replacement when the existing lead is cracked, lifted, or beyond repair. Done properly, new lead should last 50+ years.
STACK REBUILDING
When the chimney stack itself is structurally compromised, a rebuild is safer and more cost-effective than repeated patching. We match the existing brickwork as closely as possible.
HOW WE FIX IT
INSPECTION
We inspect the full chimney stack — pointing, flashing, lead, pots, and crown. Often with binoculars first, then up close.
REPORT & QUOTE
We explain exactly what we found and what needs doing. Written quote with no hidden costs.
REPAIR WORK
Proper repair using the right materials. Pointing mix, lead grade, and flashing type all specified correctly for the job.
SEAL & TEST
All repaired areas sealed and checked. We confirm everything is watertight before we leave.
