Chimney Repairs in Ashford
Many of Ashford's older streets near the town centre have brick chimney stacks that need regular upkeep to stay watertight.
Chimney Repairs in Ashford
Ashford's Victorian terraces, particularly around the older parts of town near the station and the high street, have brick chimney stacks that have often had decades of patch repairs. Pointing wears, pots crack and flashing lifts, usually showing up as a damp patch near the chimney breast inside the house.
Newer housing on the Ashford estates generally has shorter, simpler stacks, but the same flashing and pointing issues apply, just on a smaller scale.
Older Ashford housing near the centre has tall Victorian chimney stacks, sometimes multiple pots per stack where houses had several open fires. Estate housing from later periods tends to have single, lower stacks.
Local knowledge
Common chimney repair jobs in Ashford
01
Cracked or leaning pots
Older clay pots on Ashford's Victorian terraces can crack or lean after years of weathering, and a loose pot is a safety issue as well as a leak risk.
02
Worn pointing on tall stacks
Tall Victorian stacks exposed to weather from all sides often need repointing well before the rest of the house needs attention.
03
Flashing on rebuilt chimneys
Where a stack has been rebuilt or shortened over the years, the flashing junction with the roof is a common place for leaks to start.
