Answers to common questions about our Chimney Repairs in West Malling
Why Trust First Choice Roofing Kent with Your Property?
Choosing the right roofer is about finding someone who values your home as much as you do. Here is why we are the first choice for so many residents across Kent:
How do I know if my chimney needs repointing?
If you can see gaps in the mortar between the bricks or if bits of mortar are falling onto your roof, it is time for repointing. Soft or sandy mortar is a sign that the weather has eroded the joints, which allows water to seep into the stack.
Do I need scaffolding for a chimney repair?
In almost all cases, yes. Chimneys are difficult to reach safely with just a ladder. For the safety of our team and to ensure we can do a thorough job, we use scaffolding. The good news is that we handle all the scaffolding arrangements and include the cost in your initial quote.
How long does it take to repair a chimney stack?
A standard repointing or leadwork job usually takes between one and three days, depending on the size of the chimney and the extent of the damage. We will give you a clear timeline before we start so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you remove a chimney stack completely?
Yes, we offer chimney removal services. This often requires structural support inside the loft and may need building regulations approval. We can talk you through the entire process and provide a safe, professional removal service.
