Chimney Repairs in Fochabers

Chimneys & Leadwork for Fochabers homes

Inland by the Spey, Fochabers sees heavy rain and hard frosts. Blocked gutters, moss and frost-damaged mortar are common problems. 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.

The planned village has many traditional stone houses with slate roofs, alongside modern housing and outbuildings.

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
