Professional Chimney Care For Your Home
Thistle Roofing offers a full range of professional chimney services, from routine maintenance checks to major structural repairs. As a critical component of your roof structure, a chimney requires specialist care to remain safe, stable, and weatherproof. Our services begin with thorough inspections and surveys to quickly identify issues such as damaged brickwork, deteriorating mortar, or faulty lead flashing. Early detection of these problems is key to preventing larger, more expensive issues like water ingress and internal damp. We handle everything from minor repairs, like securing loose pots, to full stack rebuilds, ensuring we use only high-quality materials and proven techniques for every job. This commitment guarantees a reliable, long-lasting result for your home.
Tailored Solutions For Every Chimney Issue
We provide highly specific solutions tailored to the unique condition of your chimney. For brickwork that has suffered weathering, our repointing and brickwork repair services restore strength and stability, effectively stopping water penetration. Faulty lead flashing is one of the primary causes of roof leaks where the chimney meets the roofline; we specialise in complex leadwork to create a durable, watertight seal. If your chimney is no longer in use, we install quality chimney capping and cowls to prevent rain, debris, birds, and draughts from entering the flue. Finally, for chimneys that are severely damaged or unstable, we safely manage partial or full rebuilds and removals, leaving your roof secure and matching your surrounding slate roofing.
Why Chimney Maintenance Is Essential?
​Regular chimney maintenance is a crucial investment in the long-term health and structural integrity of your property. A neglected chimney can quickly become a source of water leaks, which leads to damp and costly damage to your roof structure and interior finishes. By ensuring your chimney stack is stable and waterproofed, you actively prevent expensive repair work in the future. Proper maintenance also helps maintain safety and structural stability. We provide honest advice and utilise high-grade materials to ensure every repair is durable and reliable, guaranteeing peace of mind.

I originally asked Thistle to install two double-glazed skylights to make my new home a bit more snug. When on site, they identified some major issues with the roof, and were able to accommodate doing the most urgent of that immediately. The team, led by Willie, were lovely to deal with and worked incredibly hard through the ice, freezing fog and pouring rain. Derek was a pleasure to deal with, too. Thanks to the team for an excellent result.
