CHIMNEY STACK REPAIRS IN READING

Chimney Repairs, Sweeps, Restoration & Building

Do you have a chimney in need of repair or replacement? Are you looking for a specialist for chimney sweeping or repointing? At David James Roofing Specialist, based in Reading, Berkshire, we offer comprehensive chimney services in the Windsor area. From brickwork to cleaning, we handle it all. With our world-class service and over 20 years of experience, we guarantee to get your chimney back in working order. We perform both proactive and remedial works, including our most commonly requested services:

  • Partial chimney rebuilds: Ideal for small chimneys (no scaffolding needed) or the top few courses of a large chimney.
  • Roof line up chimney rebuilds: When substantial mortar or brick deterioration prevents pointing restoration, we tear down the structure to the flashing area near the roofline and commence the rebuild.
  • Total chimney rebuilds: Necessary when the chimney is leaning or has severe mortar deterioration or brick spalling from the ground level up. This involves a complete teardown of the outer brick layer, though the firebox, hearth, and smoke chamber often remain intact.

A well-constructed chimney crown is crucial for protecting the masonry construction beneath it, preventing the need for frequent repairs. However, many masonry chimneys are built with inadequate "crowns" made from common mortar, which deteriorates quickly under weather exposure. This allows water to penetrate, leading to further damage and the need for extensive repairs.

Chimneys are often overlooked, especially with many fireplaces falling into disuse, yet they remain a significant weak point in your roof that can cause leaks. Exposed to rain, snow, wind, and freezing conditions, masonry materials can deteriorate rapidly. At David James Roofing Specialist, we provide both proactive maintenance and immediate repair solutions to secure your chimney's integrity for the long term.

I’d like to thank David and his team, they’ve done a great job re-roofing my house, tidied up every day. I liked the option to reuse the existing tiles as they were still in good condition after 60 years. The final result looks great.
