Bracknell, Berkshire
Chimney Repairs in Bracknell
Bracknell's 1950s and early 1960s housing — the first phase of the New Town build — included substantial chimney stacks serving solid-fuel fireplaces and back boilers. These stacks are now around 70 years old and the mortar joints have eroded to the point where repointing is essential. Legacy Roofing repoints, re-flashes, and caps chimney stacks across Bracknell.
The older streets of Old Bracknell and the properties around the Bracknell town centre fringe include a number of pre-New Town dwellings with traditional brick chimney stacks in worse condition than the later-phase housing. We assess and advise on the best approach for each.

Chimney Repairs in Bracknell — FAQs
Very often yes. The most common causes of damp chimney breasts are failed pointing on the external stack, deteriorated lead flashings at roof level, or a missing or cracked pot allowing water into the flue. We will diagnose the cause before recommending a fix.
Yes — we can install a fitted ventilating capping that prevents water entry while allowing the flue to breathe. This is usually the right approach for decommissioned stacks.
For most chimney work above two storeys, yes. We include scaffolding in the quote and arrange it as part of the job.
Spalling and powdering mortar is a sign that water has been getting in for some time and the frost-thaw cycle has broken down the joint. It should be addressed — eroded joints let more water in and the damage accelerates.
