Chimney Repair in Birtley
Chimneys fail in three places: flashing, flaunching, and stack pointing. A proper repair identifies which — on the roof, not from the drive — and quotes the actual fix. Cheap chimney work is a false economy; a leaking stack destroys ceilings. We're regularly on roofs close to the A1(M), through Lamesley and Kibblesworth.
- Lead flashing renewed to Code 4 or 5
- Flaunching re-cast in proper sand/cement
- Repointing in matched mortar
- Pot re-bedded, capped or removed as agreed
- Scaffold or tower included in the price

Chimney Repair in Birtley — FAQs
Can I just cap and forget it?+
If the chimney is redundant, yes — capping and re-flashing is often cheaper than a full rebuild. We'll price both options.
How long should chimney pointing last?+
20+ years in matched lime or 15+ years in sand-cement mortar. Anything failing before 10 years was the wrong mix.
Do you cover all of Birtley?+
Yes — DH3 in full, plus Gateshead, Chester-le-Street, Washington. Same crew, same day-rate.
