Chimney Repairs in Fleetwood

Chimney Repairs for Fleetwood homes

Chimney stacks are a defining feature of homes in Fleetwood, where Victorian terraces and townhouses fill the planned streets of the old town, with 20th-century semis and bungalows in Larkholme, Rossall and Broadwater. Most of those houses were built with a fireplace in every room, so there are a lot of stacks to look after. Fleetwood takes the full force of the Irish Sea on two sides, so salt-laden gales are a regular test of every ridge, verge and flashing in the town. We repoint, rebuild, re-flash, cap and remove stacks, using materials that match the rest of the building.

On the Fylde, many chimneys on 1930s homes are no longer used and are simply letting in water. Capping with ventilation, or removing the stack below the roofline, is often the most sensible long-term fix.

We put up safe access, repoint or rebuild the stack as needed, re-flaunch the pots, and renew the lead flashing so the junction with the roof is watertight. If the chimney is no longer used, we can cap it with a ventilated cap to stop rain and birds getting in, or take the stack down below the roofline and slate over it.
