A recently completed chimney restoration in Clayton, Bradford.
This project involved four chimney stacks that had deteriorated over time, with failing mortar joints and defects around the leadwork increasing the risk of water ingress.
The work included:
• Raking out the existing cement mortar
• Repointing all four chimneys using traditional lime mortar
• Repairing and sealing the lead flashings with Lead Mate
• Re-capping all chimney pots
• Renewing the flaunching using Prompt Natural Cement
Using the correct materials is especially important on older masonry. Lime mortar allows the chimney to breathe naturally while providing a durable finish that’s more suitable for traditional buildings than hard cement mortars.
