Due to their position on buildings, chimneys take the full force of the elements. This not only includes rain and snow but the constant changing temperatures and powerful winds too. If cracks begin to appear then this could be a huge problem for your property as leaks will start to occur, thus creating further damage. Signs of chimney damage may not be obvious until it is too late, this is why it is important to ensure that your chimney is regularly checked.
However, if you find that your chimney has already succumbed to the weather, do not worry, we at 5 Star Roofcare are here to help. Our fantastic team has repaired a whole host of chimneys in the Surrey and London areas so we are confident that we can get yours looking as good as new in no time.
If you can spot any rust in the damper or firebox then that is a clear sign of damage to the chimney. This may also mean that there are further issues higher up within the chimney such as cracked flue tiles. This is a serious problem which could potentially lead to a fire. As a result, if you spot any rust, give us a call today on 020 3993 4084.
Bricks become spalled when moisture gets into the brickwork resulting in the bricks breaking apart. This can badly damage your chimney so you must call a professional as soon as you notice this.
The smallest part at the top of the chimney, the crown is pivotal to stopping water from entering the structure. However, due to it being the most exposed part, it is also most at risk of becoming damaged. If you do find any cracks, please contact us immediately.
