With 45 years of experience, our team ensures your chimney remains structurally sound, weatherproof, and safe from long-term damage.
What is Chimney Repointing?
Over time, weather exposure causes the mortar between chimney bricks to erode, leading to gaps, cracks, and potential structural instability. Chimney repointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar and replacing it with fresh, weather-resistant mortar to restore strength and prevent water ingress.
Signs your chimney may need repointing:
- Crumbling or missing mortar
- Loose or shifting bricks
- Damp patches on ceilings or walls near the chimney
- Increased draughts or water leaks inside the fireplace
At Tate Roofing, we use high-quality materials to ensure a durable, long-lasting repair, matching the existing masonry for a seamless finish.
What is Chimney Pot Re-Flaunching?
Flaunching is the cement mortar that holds your chimney pot in place and helps direct rainwater away from the stack. Over time, it can crack, erode, or become loose, putting your chimney at risk.
Chimney pot re-flaunching involves removing damaged mortar and reapplying a strong, weatherproof cement layer to secure the chimney pot and improve drainage.
Common signs your chimney pot needs re-flaunching:
- Loose or wobbly chimney pot
- Cracks in the mortar around the base of the pot
- Water ingress through the chimney
- Visible gaps in the cement on top of the stack
