Chimney Repairs & Rebuilds in Wells

Chimneys take a battering being the highest point of the house, and once the mortar starts going or bricks come loose it can look like the whole stack needs coming down. Often it doesn’t. I’ll get up for a proper look and tell you straight whether it’s repointing, a partial rebuild or the full thing, rather than quoting for more than’s needed.

On a full rebuild I match the brick coursing and finish so it looks original from the ground, then check the flaunching, pot and flashing are all sound before the scaffold comes down. Access and noise are worked out in advance so there’s minimal disruption to the house.

One customer had feared their cottage chimney would need removing altogether after another quote, but the team rebuilt it at a competitive price, working to a high standard with minimal noise and mess.
