Expert Chimney Repointing and Masonry Repairs in Gerrards Cross
High class roofing provides specialist chimney repointing and structural masonry repairs across Gerrards Cross and the surrounding Thames Valley area. Based locally in Datchet, Jimmy Frankham and his team possess the technical knowledge required to restore chimney stacks on a diverse range of local property styles, from period Victorian brickwork to modern semi-detached homes. We understand that chimney maintenance is a critical part of protecting your home from water ingress and long-term structural decay.
Why Do Chimney Mortar and Brickwork Fail?
In our local climate, chimney stacks are exposed to the harshest weather conditions. Repeated exposure to high wind gusts and the natural freeze-thaw cycle of the British seasons inevitably causes mortar joints to crack and crumble. When this lime mortar perishes, it loses its structural integrity, allowing moisture to penetrate the brickwork. If you have noticed mortar debris collecting in your gutters or damp patches appearing on your internal chimney breast, these are clear signs that your stack requires urgent attention to prevent loose bricks and more extensive damage.

Professional Mortar Renewal and Flaunching Services
Our diagnostic approach involves a thorough inspection of the masonry to determine the depth of the decay. We carefully rake out the failing mortar and replace it with a durable, compatible mix that matches the original construction. Beyond the brickwork itself, we place a high priority on the condition of the chimney flaunching—the cement mortar haunching at the top of the stack. A cracked flaunching plate is a frequent cause of water leaking down the inside of the flue, which we address during our repairs to ensure the chimney remains completely weather-tight.

The junction where your chimney meets the roof tiles is a common weak point for water ingress. We examine all leadwork, including the chimney aprons, step flashings, and side soakers, to ensure they remain properly dressed and secure. Replacing deteriorated or poorly fitted lead flashing is essential for maintaining a watertight seal. Whether your property is situated in a conservation area or a standard residential street, we ensure that all repairs comply with the expected standards for leadwork and masonry finishing.
