We get regular calls about chimney repairs from Cowbridge and the surrounding area, which covers an affluent Vale of Glamorgan market town with a Georgian high street and period townhouses within its old town walls. Prevention is almost always cheaper and less disruptive than dealing with a full repair later.
Practical Steps
Chimneys are among the most exposed parts of any property. Wind, rain and changing temperatures gradually affect mortar, brickwork, chimney pots, flaunching and surrounding leadwork.
- Have the roof checked periodically, particularly after severe weather
- Keep gutters clear so water drains away properly
- Address small issues (a slipped tile, a hairline crack in pointing) before they spread
- Keep an eye on chimneys, valleys and other junctions where problems usually start
