Chimney Repairs in Chandler's Ford
Chandler's Ford's 1930s stock was built with substantial chimneys as standard — many Hiltingbury detacheds have two or three stacks serving multiple fireplaces. These stacks are now approaching 90 years old in some cases, and mortar deterioration and lead flashing failure are predictable consequences of that age in a Hampshire climate.
Lead Flashing on Complex Chandler's Ford Stacks
The chimney stacks on large Hiltingbury properties are often more complex than average — wider stacks with multiple pots, sitting on pitched roof sections at different levels. Lead flashing work on these stacks requires experience and care to execute correctly. We carry out full flashing replacement and re-dressing in properly dressed lead, not mastic.
Repointing and Stack Repairs
We repoint in flexible mortar suited to exposed Hampshire stacks. Where stacks have deteriorated beyond economic repointing, we carry out partial or full rebuilding using appropriate materials.
