"Turned up when they said they would, did a brilliant job, left everything spotless. Would recommend Enviroshield to anyone in the area."
Chelmsford has a significant number of Victorian and Edwardian properties particularly in the streets around the cathedral and the older parts of Moulsham where original chimney stacks are now well over 100 years old. Failed pointing and lead flashing are the most common issues we find.
We inspect every chimney from scaffold, identify the exact cause of any leak or deterioration, and repair it permanently. All pointing is matched to your existing mortar style lime mortar where appropriate for period properties.
A failing chimney stack can let water into your roof space for months before you notice any internal damage. An early repair is always substantially cheaper than the alternative. Get in touch for a free inspection.
Chimneys take the full force of the weather year-round and the mortar, lead flashing, and rendering that keep them watertight don't last forever. Cracked pointing, failed lead step flashing, and loose pots are among the most frequent causes of damp inside homes. We identify the exact source of any chimney-related leak and fix it permanently.
