Chimney Repair in London

An architectural ventilation structure, a chimney is made up of clay, metal, or masonry, which helps remove smoke or exhaust gases produced by a furnace, fireplace, or stove. Over time, the chimney may start deteriorating, develop cracks or have any other issue, which allows the moisture to get in and cause damage to it.

To assess and repair any kind of chimney issues, an experienced chimney repair company should be your pick. Surrey Roofing Specialists are renowned industry experts providing specialised chimney repair services in London. We are available around the clock to help you readily address your chimney concerns.       

Common Problems with Chimneys

Creosote

Creosote is a compound of tar and soot that is deposited in the flue lining when wood is burned in the fireplace and causes smoke to rise through the chimney; it is flammable and may catch fire.

Moisture Issues

A neglected chimney might crumble, lean, or fall completely. If you leave your chimney unmaintained, water can enter the chimney system and deteriorate it, which can even lead to replacement.

Chimney Crown

Your chimney’s top is a crown which must be covered with a chimney cap to protect it from moisture. If the chimney crown cracks, the moisture can make its way to the system and damage it.

Obstruction

A chimney blockage or obstruction can be produced by a variety of factors, including an obstruction in the chimney draught. A clogged chimney is harmful because it can stop toxic gases such as lethal carbon monoxide from escaping.

Cracks in the Flue

Chimney linings are subjected to significant elements, such as heat and flammable chemical deposits. If moisture combines with the creosote, the liner can develop cracks and need to be replaced in the chimney od the roof.
