Another is to keep water out of you property loft or roof space.
Long term water damage can cause timbers to rot and decay. Requiring quite extensive repairs to put right with usually requires materials, labour time and scaffolding to repair properly.

ROUTINE-ROOFING CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE WHEN USING A LOG OR SOLID FUIL BURNER
With ever rising energy costs many people are turning to log burners as an efficient form of heating. This is especially handy in winter and can reduce your energy bills of conventional gas or electric.
Not only does a log burner look attritive with the sight of the flames on a cold winters evening. You wont be dependent on just one or two forms of heating.
If you intend using an open fire or a log or multi fuel burner with a flue placed in the chimney breast. It makes sense to make sure you chimney is in sound well maintained condition.
We can help with the external brickwork, mortar joints, concrete top (Flaunching), pots and weather cowls.
The reason for a flue liner is it allows combustion byproducts from the fire to the outside of the property safely.
Also it helps control the draw, this helps with lighting the fire as well and helping the fire burn longer.
It is recommended that you have your chimney swept at least twice a year.

CHIMNEY REPOINTING
including
Lime mortar repointing
Repointing services to keep water penetration out of brickwork.
It also helps to bond the courses of bricks together. Over time all mortar joints will wear with the weather some fast than others. It is important to keep the mortar in good sound condition so it can do its job. This is to bond building materials together and keep your home water tight
Depending on when your property was built the mortar could be modern Portland cement.
Or more traditional Lime cement, this is usually found on property's built before 1930.
It is important to keep to the same lime mortar on older property's as it helps walls breath and helps release moisture. Modern mortars can trap water inside the wall and this can then lead to damp, condensation and even spalling. This would then require bricks to be replaced as they are damaged beyond repair.
CHELTENHAM CHIMNEY ISSUES
Repairs and rebuilds
A good reason to have chimney
pot cowls. Is to stop birds dropping materials into the chimney.
Its surprising what you can find on or in your chimney. From twigs to plants which just keep growing if not checked and removed.
This could totally block the chimney and create numerous problems.
Cowls also helps stop water passing into the chimney itself which can encourage damp issues. Over many years of rain entering your chimney can course damp and damage the inside mortar of the chimney. Also drop down onto the fire place causing damp and mess.
