Chimney Waterproofing in Birkenhead
Chimneys are constantly exposed to harsh weather, and over time brickwork can absorb water, leading to leaks, damp, and structural issues. At Roofline Solutions Chester, we provide professional chimney waterproofing in Birkenhead to protect your chimney stack and keep your home safe from water damage.
What Is Chimney Waterproofing?
Chimney waterproofing involves applying a specialist water-repellent coating to the exterior brickwork of the chimney. This clear treatment allows the bricks to breathe while preventing water penetration, reducing the risk of leaks, damp, and frost damage.
Why Chimney Waterproofing Is Important
- Prevents leaks and water ingress
- Reduces internal damp and mould problems
- Extends the life of chimney brickwork and mortar
- Protects against frost damage during cold winters
- Saves money on future chimney repairs

- Single chimney stack waterproofing: £250 – £400

- Additional repairs (repointing, flashing) may add to the total cost
We provide free inspections and tailored quotes so you know exactly what’s needed before work begins.
