A damaged or deteriorating chimney is one of the most common causes of roof leaks, and one of the most frequently overlooked. Cracked mortar, failing flashings, and loose or spalling brickwork can allow water into your property without any obvious visible signs until the damage is already done.
J Shearer Roofing carries out all types of chimney repair work for homeowners across Glasgow. From minor repointing to full chimney stack rebuilds, our experienced roofers approach every chimney job with the same attention to detail that’s kept clients coming back to us for over 35 years.
If you’ve noticed damp patches on a chimney breast, loose mortar, cracked render, or a chimney pot that’s shifted, don’t wait for the problem to get worse. Call J Shearer Roofing on 0141 638 6613 and we’ll arrange a survey at a time that suits you.
We carry out the full range of chimney and chimney stack repairs for Glasgow homeowners and landlords. Every job is completed properly, not patched over:
Raking out and replacing failed mortar joints to restore weathertightness and structural integrity. One of the most common and most important chimney repairs, and one of the clearest signs a chimney needs attention.
Lead or aluminium flashings at the base of chimney stacks can crack, lift, or pull away over time. We repair or replace them to stop water tracking into the roof structure and causing hidden damage.
Where a chimney stack has deteriorated beyond repair, we can take it down and rebuild it correctly from the haunching up. Carried out with care to match the existing property and preserve its appearance.
Cracked, loose, or damaged pots replaced and re-bedded to a secure finish. We can also fit chimney cowls to reduce downdraught, keep the weather out, and prevent bird nesting.
Cracked or blown render on rendered chimney stacks cut back, repaired, and finished properly to restore a clean, weathertight surface and prevent further water ingress behind the render.
The cement mortar bed securing chimney pots can crack with age and freeze-thaw cycles. We re-haunch chimney pots to keep them secure, stable, and weathertight through the Scottish climate.
Unexplained damp near a chimney breast is often chimney-related. We carry out thorough inspections to identify the exact source, give you a clear diagnosis, and recommend the most appropriate repair.
For unused chimneys causing persistent problems, we can remove the stack to roof level and cap it off cleanly, eliminating the issue at source and removing the ongoing maintenance burden.
