Common Chimney Problems and How We Fix Them in Gainsborough
Your chimney takes a beating from the weather all year round. Over time, exposure to rain, frost, and high winds can lead to cracks, leaks, and structural issues. At F H Roofing Lincolnshire, we provide reliable chimney repairs in Gainsborough to fix these problems quickly and safely.
1. Cracked or Damaged Brickwork
Damaged bricks and crumbling mortar weaken the structure of your chimney. We offer full repointing and brick replacement services to restore strength and appearance.
2. Leaking Lead Flashing
Lead flashing seals the gap between your chimney and roof. If it’s split or corroded, water can easily leak into your loft or walls. We replace damaged flashing and apply sealant for long-term protection.
3. Loose Chimney Pots or Cowls
Strong winds can loosen or break chimney pots, causing safety risks. We secure or replace pots and fit cowls to prevent rain or birds from entering.
4. Structural Instability
Over time, neglected damage can cause a chimney to lean or crack dangerously. Our expert team can rebuild unstable sections or perform a full reconstruction if needed.
