Chimney Repair Services in Parsons Green
Parsons Green includes the red-brick terraces of the Peterborough Estate, built in the 1890s with decorative gables, terracotta details and slate or clay tile roofs. Much of it is covered by conservation areas, so repairs need to keep that original character intact.
As the highest point on most buildings, chimneys take the full force of the weather, which means they wear out faster than the rest of the roof. Without regular maintenance a chimney can become unsafe and start letting water into the house.
Our chimney work covers repointing, flaunching, lead flashing, new pots, cowls and caps. If a chimney is no longer used, we can cap it or take it down to below the roofline.
No two chimneys are the same, so we tailor every repair to the property. For advice or a free quote for chimney repairs in Parsons Green, call 07467 757 367.
Chimney Repairs We Carry Out in Parsons Green
Chimney Capping
Unused flues can be capped to keep out rain and birds while still allowing ventilation.
Chimney Repointing
Crumbling mortar joints are raked out and repointed to keep the brickwork sound and stop water getting in.
Lead Flashing
New lead flashings and soakers where the stack meets the roof, one of the most common causes of leaks around chimneys.
Flaunching and Chimney Pots
Cracked flaunching is renewed and loose or broken pots are reset or replaced, with cowls fitted where needed.
Chimney Removal
Redundant stacks can be taken down below the roofline and the roof made good to match.
Chimney Rebuilds
Where a stack is badly damaged or unstable, we can rebuild it using matching bricks.
Chimney Repairs for Homes and Businesses in Parsons Green
Tall stacks shared between neighbouring houses are a feature of Victorian terraces, and in Parsons Green many have stood since the 1890s. Over that time mortar joints wash out, flaunching cracks and lead flashing lifts, letting water track down into bedrooms and loft spaces below. We repoint, re-flaunch, renew flashings and fit new pots, cowls or caps to stop rain and birds getting in.
Where a stack is unstable we can rebuild it, or remove it below the roofline if it is no longer needed, although in a conservation area taking down a visible chimney may need consent from the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, so it is worth asking them first. Our aim is to keep the brickwork and pots in keeping with the terrace. We look after chimneys in Chelsea and Fulham as well.
Our Staines head office is about 14 miles from Parsons Green, and we regularly work on homes and businesses across the area. Most like-for-like roof work does not need planning permission, but if your property is listed or in a conservation area it is worth checking with the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Chimney Repairs FAQs for Parsons Green
Can I remove the chimney stack on my Parsons Green house?
Often yes, but much of Parsons Green lies within conservation areas, so removing a stack that can be seen from the street may need consent. Check with Hammersmith and Fulham council first. If removal is not possible, we can repoint, re-flaunch or rebuild the stack and fit a cap to keep weather out.
How much do chimney repairs cost?
It depends on the work and the access needed. We inspect the chimney and give you a free, no-obligation quote before any work starts.
Why is water coming in around my chimney?
Leaks around chimneys usually come from worn or lifted lead flashing, cracked flaunching or porous brickwork. We find the cause and repair it.
Do you fit chimney cowls and caps?
Yes. We fit cowls, bird guards and caps to stop rain, birds and debris getting into the flue.

Yes. Unused chimneys are still exposed to the weather. You can keep it maintained, have it capped, or have it taken down below the roofline.
