CHIMNEY INSPECTIONS AND RISK ASSESSMENT
Regular inspections are essential to identify damage to brickwork, mortar, lead flashing, and overall chimney stability. A risk-assessed survey ensures potential issues are highlighted early, preventing costly repairs or collapse. Photographic evidence can be provided to clearly show the condition and required works. For additional property protection, consider pairing this with roof surveys or roof repair to address related roofing issues.
CHIMNEY REPOINTING AND BRICKWORK REPAIRS
We repair and replace deteriorating mortar joints, brickwork, and flaunching to restore structural integrity. Re-pointing and re-seating of chimney pots ensure chimneys remain safe and fully functional. All repairs are carried out to British Standards and are fully insured, giving you confidence in the quality of work. Addressing minor cracks promptly can prevent larger structural issues. Regular maintenance checks help maintain the chimney's longevity and effectiveness.
CHIMNEY RENDERING AND PROTECTIVE COATINGS
Rendering applies a protective layer of cement, sand, and water to shield your chimney from the elements. This prevents water ingress, decay, and damage to brickwork, while providing a uniform, clean appearance. Proper application is essential for durability, and our team ensures every layer is applied correctly. Consider combining rendering work with pitched roof services or flat roof solutions for complete roof and chimney protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is chimney rendering, and why is it important?
Chimney rendering involves applying a protective layer of cement and sand to your chimney. This process not only strengthens the structure but also prevents water ingress, frost damage, and long-term brickwork decay. In addition to improving durability, rendering gives your chimney a smooth, uniform finish that enhances your home’s overall appearance, boosting both safety and curb appeal.
How do I know if my chimney needs repairs?
You may need chimney repairs if you notice cracks in the brickwork, crumbling mortar, leaks, or signs of damp inside your home. Even minor issues can escalate over time, so regular inspections in Edinburgh are essential. Early detection ensures repairs are carried out promptly, protecting your property and preventing more costly damage in the future.
Can chimney rendering be combined with other roof services?
Yes, professional chimney rendering is often most effective when coordinated with other roof services, including roof repairs or maintenance. This ensures your entire roofline and chimney are protected against leaks, structural issues, and water damage. Combining services saves time, reduces disruption, and delivers long-lasting results that keep your home safe and fully weatherproofed.
How long does chimney rendering last?
When applied by skilled professionals using high-quality materials, chimney rendering can last many years while maintaining its protective properties.
