CHIMNEY REPAIRS IN OXFORD AND THE COTSWOLDS

Customer care is our highest priority, so your satisfaction is our main focus.

We undertake chimney repairs throughout Oxford & the Cotswolds.

These days, less people have an open fire or log burner, but most houses still have a chimney – especially the older homes of Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds.

Whether you actually use your chimney or not, it is very important that it is kept properly maintained – especially the brickwork and leadwork. When the mortar around the bricks and chimney pots becomes loose, moss and damp can easily enter your roof, rotting the timbers and leading to expensive roof repairs. If the leadwork has shifted where the chimney joins the roof, water can run straight into your house, causing leaks and damp patches inside your home.

You should check for cracked or crumbling mortar around your chimney, or water damage caused by leaks. If your chimney has storm damage, frost damage or is simply in need of some careful restoration, we have the experience and skills to complete your chimney repairs to the highest possible standards.

We have been repairing and replacing chimneys around Oxford and the Cotswolds for over 30 years, so if your chimney needs repairing, get in touch today for your free, no obligation quote.

What are the benefits of chimney repairs?

Prevents Structural Damage

A neglected chimney stack can lead to severe structural damage in your home. Cracked or insecure chimneys can allow water to leak into a property, damaging the roof, ceilings and interior walls, as well as potentially effecting the foundations, which can damage walls and floors. Broken chimney stacks can also accommodate animals such as birds or squirrels, which can damage the structure further.
Improved Safety

The foremost benefit of chimney repair is the safety of the household. Faulty or damaged chimneys are a significant fire hazard, and can effect air quality and ventilation in a home, and chimney stacks that are cracked or insecure run the risk of collapse. Regular inspection and repairs ensures that chimneys are structurally sound and safe to use.
Preserves Appeal

A well maintained chimney is an asset to the value and character of a home, especially for historical buildings typical of Oxford and The Cotswolds. A deteriorating chimney can also be an issue when selling a property, as it may suggest the need for further repairs.

Prevention of water damage

Water is one of the primary causes of chimney stack damage, especially in regions like Oxford and the Cotswolds, which see their fair share of wet weather. Water infiltration deteriorates masonry over time, leading to further damage, and potentially effecting internal wooden structures and walls and ceilings. Repairs such as repointing and sealing cracks prevent water damage, especially vital for more delicate historical properties.
Heating Efficiency

A damaged chimney stack can affect the efficiency of your homes heating system, as well as diminishing the use of wood-burning stoves and fireplaces which rely on the chimney for ventilation. Repairing a damaged chimney stack contributes greatly to internal heating, which is especially vital during the cold and wet winters in Oxford and the Cotswolds.
Peace of Mind

A severely damaged chimney stack can become a serious risk to your home. Chimney collapse is very dangerous and damaging to a property, as well as costly to repair. Timely inspections and repairs go a long way to preventing such damage and will give you peace of mind as well as extending the lifespan of the chimney itself.
