The work

Chimney Repairs for Feltham homes

Feltham is a short run for us, so a look at a chimney repairs job here is a visit rather than a day of travel priced into the quote. We work across TW13 and out into Hounslow, Ashford, Hanworth, Bedfont, Hampton.

A stack is exposed on every face and above the roof line, so it weathers faster than any other brickwork on the house. Once the pointing has gone, water enters the joints, tracks down inside the stack, and appears as damp on a bedroom chimney breast.

The other half of the problem is where the stack meets the roof. Cement fillets crack, flashings lift, and back gutters silt up. Fixing the brickwork without fixing the lead, or the other way round, tends not to solve it.

What's included

What chimney repairs covers

  • Repointing

    Raked out and repointed in a mortar suited to the brick, not a hard cement smear.

  • Partial rebuild

    The top courses taken down and rebuilt where the brick has spalled or the stack is leaning.

  • Flaunching

    The mortar cap around the pots renewed so it sheds water away from the joints.

  • Lead flashings

    Step, cover and apron flashings, and a back gutter where the stack sits mid-slope.

  • Pots and cowls

    Cracked pots replaced, and cowls or capping fitted on unused flues.

  • Removal

    Redundant stacks taken down and the roof made good where a chimney is no longer wanted.

The process

How a chimney repairs job runs in Feltham

  1. Step 01

    Inspect from the roof

    A stack cannot be assessed from the ground. We get up and look at the pointing, the flaunching and the lead.

  2. Step 02

    Explain the options

    Repointing, rebuild or removal, with the honest difference in cost and in outcome.

  3. Step 03

    Access

    Scaffold or a tower as appropriate, with the roof protected below.

  4. Step 04

    Repair and photograph

    Work completed, debris cleared out of the gutters, and photographs sent to you.

Why Feltham customers use us for this

  • Brickwork and lead are dealt with together, since a leak usually involves both.

The price

Chimney Repairs costs

What chimney repairs costs comes down to what you actually have, not a price list. Two jobs that sound identical can be an hour of work or a week of it, which is why we do not price roofing over the phone. We come and look, then put a figure in writing.

  • Stack height and how exposed it is.
  • Whether the work is repointing or a rebuild of the upper courses.
  • Access, which on a mid-terrace stack is often the biggest single cost.
  • Number of pots, and whether new flashings or a back gutter are needed.

Questions

Chimney Repairs in Feltham: common questions

Still not sure? Ring and ask. It is usually quicker than typing it out, and you will speak to the person who would do the work.

0208 945 5563tjmhomeimprovements@gmail.com

There is damp on my chimney breast. Is that the stack?

Very often, yes. Water entering open joints or a cracked flaunching runs down inside the stack and shows on the breast in the room below. Repointing and a new flaunching is the usual fix.

Should I take the chimney down instead?

If the flues are redundant and you do not want a feature, removing the stack and making the roof good removes the maintenance for good. It costs more than repointing but nothing afterwards.

Do I need a cowl?

On an unused flue a capping cowl keeps rain and birds out while still letting the flue breathe, which stops damp and condensation inside it. On a working flue the cowl depends on what the appliance is.

Can a chimney be repaired in winter?

Pointing and flaunching need temperatures above freezing to cure, so a hard frost will hold the job up. Making a stack safe and fitting flashings can usually go ahead regardless.

Will it need a scaffold, or will a tower do?

It depends where the stack sits. One near the eaves can sometimes be reached from a tower, but a ridge stack or a mid-terrace stack almost always needs scaffold, and that is in the quote rather than added later.
