Chimneys leak for a number of resons:

Cracked flaunching around the chimney pots

Perished mortar in the brickwork joints

Damaged leadwork at the base

At Timperley Roof repairs we are experts at diagnosing the causes of leaks and the resulting dampness inside the house. Because a chimney protrudes through the roof it catches all the weather. One way of fixing these problems for good, assuming the chimney is not longer used is to have it dismantled down to below the roof line and then have the area re-tiled or re-slated.

This image shows a chimney repaired with new Code 4 quality stepped lead flashings and apron.
