Why Choose Us?
Is your unused chimney causing damp or structural issues?
Many homeowners in Leyland and neighbouring Preston face challenges with traditional chimney stacks that are no longer in use. Over time, these structures can suffer from sulphate attack, leading to leaning stacks or cracked brickwork. If you notice damp patches on your upstairs ceilings or walls, it is likely that your chimney is the culprit. We offer two primary solutions: professional capping to preserve the stack while preventing downdraughts and moisture ingress, or complete removal for a maintenance-free roofline.Chimney capping involves the installation of a breathable cowl or a concrete cap with adequate ventilation. This prevents birds from nesting and rain from entering the flue while allowing the structure to 'breathe,' which is vital for preventing internal condensation. If the stack is beyond repair, we can safely dismantle it to below the roofline, matching your existing tiles or slates for a seamless finish that enhances your home's curb appeal.
