Overview

Chimney Repairs in Bicester & across Oxfordshire

A chimney stack sits proud of the roof and takes wind and rain from every side, so it weathers faster than the roof around it. Failed pointing, cracked flaunching and tired lead flashing are all common leak sources on Bicester chimneys, and the chimney is one of the most common places a roof lets water in.

We put chimneys right from top to bottom. That means repointing weathered brickwork where the mortar has washed out, renewing the flaunching that holds the pots, and replacing the lead flashing, soakers and back gutters where the stack meets the roof. Where a stack is beyond repair we can take it down or rebuild it.

Pricing

What affects the cost of chimney repairs in Bicester

Every roof is different, so we price each job on what it actually needs. The main things that affect the cost are:

  • The size and pitch of the roof, and how much access or scaffold the job needs
  • The materials chosen, from budget concrete tile to natural slate or leadwork
  • The condition of the timbers, battens and felt underneath once we open up
  • Whether it is a repair, a partial recover, or a full strip and re-roof

FAQs

Common questions about chimney repairs in Bicester

Water is coming in near my chimney. Why?

The chimney is one of the most common leak points on a roof. It is usually the flashing, the pointing or the flaunching, all of which we repair.

How do I know if my chimney needs repointing?

Look for gaps between the bricks, loose mortar on the roof below, or damp on the chimney breast inside. We can confirm with a close-up look.

My lead flashing has cracked. Can it be repaired?

Sometimes a small split can be patched, but fatigued lead is usually best replaced so it does not keep failing. We will advise on which.

Can you remove a chimney we no longer use?

Yes. We can take a redundant stack down to below the roof line and make the roof good over the top.

Do you scaffold for chimney work in Bicester?

For safe access to a stack we usually need scaffold or a tower, which we include in the quote up front.
