Chimney Repairs in Silsden, Bradford

If you look up and see bits of mortar missing from between your bricks, that's more than just an eyesore. Over time, moisture and gasses from your fire can lead to something called sulfate attack, which basically eats your mortar from the inside out. We specialise in repointing chimney stacks using the right materials for your property—whether that's traditional lime mortar for a heritage cottage in Silsden or modern mixes for newer builds. It’s all about creating a weatherproof seal that lets your house breathe while keeping the driving rain exactly where it belongs: outside. Most homeowners we speak to are surprised at how much a bit of fresh pointing can stabilise an old stack.

The join between your chimney and your roof is a prime spot for leaks. That's where lead flashing comes in. It’s the metal 'skirt' around the base of the stack that directs water safely onto your tiles or slates. If your lead is cracked, or if the hidden L-shaped 'soakers' underneath have perished, you're going to have water ingress. We’re experts in leadwork, from simple step flashing to complex lead aprons. We don't do 'quick fixes' with bitumastic tape; we do proper lead repairs that are built to last for decades, giving you total peace of mind every time the Bradford weather turns nasty.

Ever worried about a chimney pot shifting during a gale? The flaunching is the sloped mortar bed at the very top of your stack that holds the pots in place and sheds water. If it’s cracked, water gets in, freezes, and expands—eventually loosening the pots and making the whole thing unsafe. We can strip back the old, crumbly mess and apply fresh, durable flaunching. While we're up there, we'll check your chimney pots are secure and can even fit cowls to keep out nesting birds and stop those annoying downdraughts from chilling your living room. It’s a simple bit of maintenance that makes a massive difference to the safety of your home.
