Chimney Repairs Barnes

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 Barnes that matters more than most places: the SW13 area is dominated by Georgian and Victorian riverside houses in conservation areas, and Thames-side damp, tall mature trees and long wet winters mean blocked gutters and moss growth are a constant battle. Our roofers know the period homes around Barnes Pond and the Common and the streets around them, so we arrive with the right materials and the right access plan first time.

Tall period stacks in Barnes often need repointing in lime mortar and new lead flashing dressed into the brick courses, carried out to conservation standards where required. Shared party-wall stacks are standard on Barnes's terraces; we repoint and re-flash your side, re-bed loose pots and can coordinate with neighbours if the whole stack needs work.

How we work in Barnes: 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.

Homeowners in SW13 choose us because we answer the phone, turn up when we say and tidy up after ourselves. Our family-run, fully insured team also covers Castelnau, Mortlake, East Sheen and the rest of South West London for chimney repairs and all general roofing work.
