Chimney Repairs in Tenterden
Tenterden's older houses often share a chimney stack with the house next door, so a repair needs to consider both sides.
Chimney Repairs in Tenterden
The High Street and the older lanes around it have plenty of tall brick chimney stacks, many shared between pairs of cottages or terraced houses. Weathering, cracked pointing and perished lead flashing are the most common reasons we're called to a chimney in Tenterden.
Because much of the town centre sits within a conservation area, we take care to match brick, pointing style and flashing detail to the original chimney rather than applying a generic fix.
Tenterden's Georgian and Victorian chimneys are usually tall brick stacks with clay or terracotta pots, often rendered or painted on the exposed sides. Many stacks in the conservation area are listed alongside the houses they sit on.
Local knowledge
What we see most with Tenterden chimneys
01
Shared stack leaks
A leak on a shared stack can appear on either side of the party wall, so we check both roofs when repairing a joint chimney.
02
Perished pointing
Exposed lime or cement pointing on older stacks weathers over years of Tenterden winters, letting water into the brickwork.
03
Flashing around the stack
Lead flashing where the chimney meets the roof is a common failure point, especially on older stacks that have had patch repairs before.
