Chimney pot falls down flue is quite a headline, but this is exactly what happened to our client in Oswestry.
Our client has a large chimney, and over time, the top of the chimney has become rotten. The result of this damage was that the chimney pot eventually fell downwards into the chimney flue.
Straightforward Chimney Repair
Our first step is to safely remove all the old failing materials including the bricks around the top of the chimney and the now damaged flue. We took everything off.
Next, we re-fixed the brickwork around the top of the chimney using quality mortar. The bricks were all in good condition so they did not need to be replaced. This means a saving for our client.
Although the bricks are reusable, the flue needs a complete replacement. We also added a new cowl instead of a pot and re-concreted the top of the chimney stack.
As you can see from the ‘after’ images, the chimney looks brand new and will withstand poor weather for many years to come.
