Chimney Repairs Romsey

A chimney is the most exposed masonry on any house, and once the mortar goes the water goes straight down into the bedrooms below. In Romsey that matters more than most places: the SO51 area is dominated by period cottages, clay-tiled semis and riverside homes, and Solent coastal winds, salt-laden air and wet Hampshire winters lift tiles, weather flashings and clog gutters with leaf fall. Our roofers know the historic streets around Romsey Abbey and the streets around them, so we arrive with the right materials and the right access plan first time.

Old cottage chimneys around Romsey are often built of soft brick or stone; we repair them with compatible mortars and cap unused flues to stop damp and nesting birds. Exposed chimneys in windy parts of Romsey take a battering; we re-bed pots securely, fit cowls and caps and check the stack for movement after storms.

How we work in Romsey: we rake out and repoint in a suitable mortar mix, renew the flaunching, re-bed pots and dress fresh code-4 lead into the brick courses so the stack sheds water cleanly. You get a free inspection, clear photos and a fixed written quote before any chimney repairs work begins. Most stacks are repointed and re-flashed in one to two days, with scaffold or tower access arranged as part of the quote.
