Chimney Repairs in Dufftown

Chimneys & Leadwork for Dufftown homes

Higher up in Speyside, Dufftown sees some of the coldest winters in Moray, with frost and snow that are hard on chimneys, ridges and gutters. 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.

Traditional stone buildings with slate roofs make up much of the town, alongside newer housing.

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
