A sound chimney needs more than solid bricks. Mortar joints, lead flashing, pots and the surrounding roof covering all have to work together to keep water outside.
Brislington lies east of central Bristol on the route towards Bath and is one of the city's well-established residential areas. Brunel Roofing Bristol carries out chimney repairs throughout Brislington, addressing both obvious structural defects and less visible causes of water ingress.
We can repoint deteriorated joints, renew damaged flashing, restore masonry and undertake larger chimney repairs where required.
