Falkirk & Central Scotland

Chimneys take the worst of the weather - exposed stonework, failed pointing, cracked skews and lead flashing that's worked loose over time. We repoint, rebuild and reflash stacks on the stone-built terraces and villas that make up a lot of Central Scotland's older housing.

What's included

  • Chimney repointing
  • Skew and coping repairs
  • Lead flashing replacement
  • Stack rebuilds
  • Chimney cowl and pot fitting
  • Cracked render and harling repairs around the stack
£300 - £2,500+

Repointing a chimney stack typically costs three hundred to nine hundred pounds. A full rebuild of a damaged stack, or replacing lead flashing around the base, runs higher depending on scaffolding access and stack condition.

02 / HOW IT WORKS

    We look at pointing, stonework condition, skews and the flashing where the stack meets the roof.

  2. 02Diagnose the leak source
