Comprehensive Chimney Services for Your Home
Our skilled craftsmen provide a wide range of chimney repair and maintenance services, tackling everything from minor fixes to major rebuilds. We've got decades of hands-on experience in the trade, so you can trust us to identify the root cause of any issue and provide a lasting solution. Here's a look at what we offer:
- Chimney Repointing: This is about replacing old, degraded mortar joints between bricks. Good repointing stops water getting in and strengthens the whole chimney stack, preventing structural problems.
- Flaunching Repair: The flaunching is the cement rendering that caps the top of the chimney around the pots. When it cracks, it lets water seep in, leading to damp and damage. We'll repair or replace it, providing a watertight seal.
- Lead Flashing Installation & Repair: Leadwork around the base of your chimney is crucial for preventing leaks where it meets the roof. We expertly repair or install new lead flashing, including step flashing and aprons, to ensure a completely weather-tight seal.
- Chimney Pot & Cowl Replacement: Damaged or missing chimney pots can allow birds, rain, and debris into your flue. We can replace broken pots and fit new cowls to prevent blockages and improve draw for your stove or fireplace.
- Chimney Capping & Removal: If a chimney is no longer in use, we can safely cap it off to prevent water ingress and animal entry. In some cases, partial or full chimney removal might be necessary for structural reasons or property alterations.
- Structural Chimney Repairs: For chimneys that have suffered significant storm damage or are leaning, we carry out structural repairs and stabilisation work to restore their integrity.

Signs Your Chimney Needs Professional Attention
It's easy to overlook your chimney, but spotting the warning signs early can save you a lot of hassle and expense. Look out for:
- Cracked or Missing Mortar: This is one of the most common issues and indicates water could be getting into your masonry.
- Damp Patches on Ceilings or Walls: Especially around the chimney breast area, this often points to a leaking chimney or faulty flashing.
- Spalling Bricks: Where the face of the brick flakes off, usually due to water freezing and expanding within the brickwork.
- Loose or Missing Chimney Pots: A clear sign of instability and potential entry points for rain and birds.
- Debris in Your Fireplace: Crumbling mortar or brick dust falling down the flue.
- Visible Leaning or Cracks: Any significant structural shift needs immediate assessment.
If you've noticed any of these issues at your home in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, or across areas like Hilton or Tutbury, don't delay – give ST Builders a call.
