Old Chimney Repairs
QUALITY CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE
Old chimneys are susceptible to cracks and damage caused by smoke, tar, soot, and harsh weather.
Ignoring these issues can result in health and safety hazards or even more extensive damage to your home.
Luckily, W&H Group has a team of trained and certified tradesmen who provide the most comprehensive and affordable chimney repair services available.
Don’t let your chimney be the weak link in your home’s safety

But our services don’t stop there. We also offer regular maintenance and cleaning to keep your chimney functioning at its best.
Creosote
Creosote buildup in your chimney can be a ticking time bomb – it is a dangerous mixture of tar and soot that can easily ignite and cause a house fire.
At W&H Group, we know that every chimney is unique, which is why we take the time to identify the most appropriate protocol to remove creosote buildup and prevent future damage.
Damaged brickwork
Don’t let damaged mortar bring down your chimney! Our team of skilled craftsmen will carefully apply fresh mortar, ensuring that your chimney is stable for years to come.
And we don’t just stop at tuckpointing. We also offer a range of other brickwork services, from brick repair to complete chimney rebuilds.
Moisture accumulation
Rain is a real menace to chimneys as it causes cracks not just in the masonry and lining, but also ceilings and walls. If left unchecked, this can cause serious structural damage to a property over time. Unfortunately, not all chimney inspections and repairs are created equal. A shoddy job can leave cracks unresolved or even create new ones.
W&H Group’s team of skilled tradesmen and scientific approach to chimney repair means your home is in the safest of hands.
Chimney Lining cracks
The lining of a chimney takes a beating from the heat, soot, and moisture build up over time, resulting in cracks. This lining is meant to protect against combustible materials from overheating or catching fire. Consequently, it is essential to inspect and replace the lining regularly.
Chimney Blockages
Chimney blockages can be a nuisance for homeowners, and are commonly caused by a buildup of creosote, bird nests, and other debris.
However, physical obstructions are not the only culprits that reduce the flow of smoke within chimneys. A low chimney height can cause air drafts that prevent proper venting, while an airtight house can also exacerbate these issues. These scenarios increase the risks of carbon monoxide poisoning and fire hazards. So it is crucial to address chimney obstructions and flow issues promptly.
W&H Group’s team of trained specialists is equipped to handle all your chimney repair needs, from diagnosing and clearing obstructions to rebuilding your chimney to ensure optimal flow. We understand the importance of using the right materials for every repair project. Our experienced chimney repair experts take pride in delivering high-quality, durable solutions that keep your family safe from these kind of hazards.
