Matched profiles. Re-flaunching included.
Partial or full depending on extent.

Kenilworth's victorian and edwardian terrace stock has a high density of chimney stacks sharing the same failure timeline — lead flashing end of life, pointing erosion and pot instability. This directly affects the frequency and type of chimney repairs calls we receive from Kenilworth.
Properties adjacent to the castle conservation area may require lime mortar repointing and conservation-profile pot matching for any visible chimney work.
Elevated position and moderate wind exposure means north and west-facing chimney stacks experience more sustained moisture loading than equivalent valley-floor properties.
We carry hydraulic lime mortar and code 4 and 5 lead for all kenilworth chimney work — the correct specification for the town's victorian and edwardian building stock.
Free quotes — no call-out fees — honest advice.
“Two stacks repointed in hydraulic lime — correct specification for the Victorian brick. Both completely dry through last winter.”
“Lead flashing replacement on the north-facing stack. They found the chase had never been properly cut on the original installation — re-leaded correctly, no recurrence.”
“Pot fallen off in the gale. Matching terracotta pot sourced and fitted with new flaunching. Clean job, fair price.”
Yes, on all Victorian, Edwardian and earlier properties in Kenilworth. Hydraulic lime mortar (NHL 3.5 for standard Victorian brick) is the correct specification. Portland cement causes long-term damage to Victorian brick by trapping moisture — we never use it on period Kenilworth properties.
Lead flashing replacement costs £300 to £750 per stack. Full repointing costs £250 to £650. Pot replacement costs £150 to £400. Free surveys for all CV8 chimney work.
Internal breast wall damp staining, white salt deposits on the external stack face, mortar falling from pointing joints, or unstable pots are all indicators that repair should be scheduled. None are immediate emergencies, but all require action within the current season.
Properties within the castle conservation area designation require lime mortar and conservation-profile pot matching for any visible chimney work. We advise on requirements at every Kenilworth survey.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Local roofers covering Kenilworth and Warwickshire since 2003.
