Chimney Repointing · Richmond
Chimney Repointing in Richmond
Richmond chimneys sit high and exposed above the Thames valley - wind-driven rain hits them hard from every angle and pointing fails long before the rest of the house shows problems.
Local property types
Chimney Repointing for Richmond homes
We repoint chimney stacks on Victorian and Edwardian terraces across Richmond, red-brick mansion flats near the station, and Georgian townhouses around the Green. Flashings and pots are checked at the same time.
Chimney work needs proper scaffold, sound access and an eye for what's really failing. We survey the stack fully before quoting - no guesswork from the ground.
