Chimney Repointing for Morecambe properties

Chimney repointing deals with weathered or missing mortar joints that can let water into the stack and roof area. Restore Roofing Solutions checks the pointing, brick condition, flaunching, pots and leadwork before recommending the right repair.

Can failed chimney pointing cause leaks?

Yes. Open or weathered joints can let rain into the chimney stack and nearby roof area, especially in wind-driven weather.
