The repair of this chimney stack involved setting up scaffolding to enable us to remove the top of the stack; we then rebuilt the damaged stack, refitted the chimney pots and completely re-pointed the chimney.

When we got the call we were told the chimney stack was lying on the roof. However, when we surveyed the job we found the chimney stack had blown down completely leaving debris and damage all over the main roof, lower flat roofs, porch, car and drive. Our first job was to make the stack safe, clear the loose bricks and put the roof back in a temporary weathered condition. Having discussed the damage with the owner he dealt with the insurance company.

We erected Health & Safety scaffolding, removed the remainder of the existing stack, and constructed a new chimney stack incorporating a new lead DPC tray and associated flashings.

We removed the scaffold from the roof and made good all the roof tiles by salvaging matching tiles from the rear of the roof and replacing them with new where they couldn’t be seen. We replaced the lower damaged felt on the flat roofs with new high performance felt systems, repaired the porch, and finally cleared the site on completion.

Due to dreadful weather conditions we received many similar calls regarding damaged chimney stacks. This one was urgent. The chimney stack was precariously positioned on the roof and was now flying in the wind with the TV aerial attached, and swaying dangerously over the front door and drive.

Works
Our priority was to make the chimney stack safe and speak the customers and insurance companies, followed by the setting up of Health & Safety scaffold, then the removal of the remaining damaged chimneystack. We then rebuilt the chimney stack incorporating a new lead DPC tray and flaunching the top using a sharp sand mixture. Finally we cleared site on completion.
Note:
Once the site was made safe, all these works were carried out in the following week. This job is a great example of how we can accommodate urgent requirements with a common sense approach, and following Health and Safety guidelines.

We also liaised with both insurance companies on the customers’ behalf, as the chimney stack was shared between the neighbours of this semi-detached property.
