Chimney Repairs in Windsor, Windsor and Maidenhead

Does your chimney look a bit weathered where it meets the roof tiles? That gap is sealed by lead flashing, and when it starts to pull away or crack, you will know about it pretty quickly. Most homeowners we speak to only realise there is an issue when they see a brown stain on the bedroom wallpaper. Our team specialises in installing and repairing high-quality leadwork that stands up to the Berkshire wind and rain. We ensure the seal is perfectly watertight, using traditional techniques that respect the look of Windsor’s historic architecture while providing a modern barrier against water ingress. It is all about getting that fit just right so you don't have to worry the next time a storm rolls in.

Is the mortar between your chimney bricks looking a bit sandy or even missing in places? This is a common problem in the SL postcode area, where frost and rain can slowly eat away at the joints. If the mortar fails, the whole stack can become unstable, which is the last thing anyone wants. We provide professional repointing and flaunching services to restore that structural integrity. Flaunching is that sloped mortar at the very top of the stack—the 'bench' that holds your pots in place. We make sure it's smooth and angled correctly to shed water away from the bricks. It is a simple job for an expert, but it makes a world of difference to the life of your chimney.

Tired of hearing the rustle of birds nesting in your flue every spring? It is a bit of a local tradition for jackdaws to try their luck in Windsor chimneys, but they can cause serious blockages and even fire risks. We can fit a variety of chimney cowls and bird guards to keep the wildlife out and stop the rain from falling directly down into your fireplace. If you find your fire is smoking back into the room, a specialist cowl can often fix those pesky downdraught issues too. We will check the pots while we are up there, ensuring everything is secure and safe for you to use.
