Chimney Repointing in Birkenhead
Over time, weather and age can cause the mortar joints in your chimney stack to crack and crumble. This leaves your chimney vulnerable to water ingress and structural weakness. At Roofline Solutions Chester, we provide expert chimney repointing in Birkenhead, restoring your chimney’s strength and protecting your home from leaks and damage.
What Is Chimney Repointing?
Chimney repointing involves removing old, deteriorated mortar and replacing it with fresh mortar to restore the stability of the chimney stack. This process not only strengthens the structure but also prevents water penetration that can lead to internal damp and costly repairs.
Signs Your Chimney Needs Repointing
- Cracks in the mortar joints
- Loose or missing sections of mortar
- Damp patches inside your property near the chimney breast
- Bricks becoming loose or unstable
- Visible gaps between the bricks
