Chimney Repairs · Bath

Bath has more chimneys per street than almost any city in the south-west. The city's Georgian and Victorian terraces were built with multiple chimney stacks, and after 150–250 years of weathering and repeated thermal cycling, most need some level of attention. Spalling brickwork, crumbling lime pointing, cracked flaunching and failed lead flashings are all extremely common — and all of them cause water ingress that can be traced to the chimney rather than the tiles.

S.C Roofing carries out the full range of chimney repairs across Bath. We repoint with lime mortar on pre-1919 properties, replacing decayed joints like-for-like to prevent moisture ingress and thermal cracking. Lead step flashings and back gutters are hand-dressed on site to the Lead Sheet Association standard. Where stacks have become structurally unstable, we rebuild from below the roofline using reclaimed Bath stone or matching brick. Drone surveys are available for high or difficult-access chimneys.
