Chimney Repairs in Banff

Chimneys & Leadwork for Banff homes

On the Moray Firth coast, Banff roofs take salt spray and strong northerly winds, which wear flashing, fixings and ridges. Chimneys and leadwork are where water most often gets in. We repoint, renew flashing and repair the details around the stack so the weather stays out.

Banff has a large stock of historic stone buildings with slate roofs, plus newer tiled homes around the town.

What we cover

• Chimney repairs and repointing
• Lead flashing
• Valleys, aprons and soakers

Signs to look out for

• Damp on chimney breasts or around chimneys
• Crumbling or missing mortar on the chimney
• Lifted, split or missing lead
• Leaks where roofs meet walls or valleys
• Debris from the chimney in gutters or on the ground

How we work

Chimneys, valleys and abutments are where water most often finds a way in. We check the pointing and leadwork and repair or renew what has failed — from repointing a chimney stack to renewing flashings, aprons, soakers and valleys. Chimneys and leadwork prices are shaped by the height of the stack, the access needed and how much lead has failed, so we look properly before giving you a figure.

What affects the cost

• The height and condition of the chimney
• How much leadwork needs renewed
• Access and any scaffolding needed
• Whether matching materials are required
