Chimney Repairs in Farnborough
Chimney stacks on Farnborough's 1950s and 1960s housing have reached the age where repointing is essential — mortar joints have eroded significantly and water is tracking into the breast on many properties. Legacy Roofing handles chimney repointing, flashing repairs, and stack capping across Farnborough.
Farnborough's aviation heritage means the town has a high proportion of properties that were built quickly in the 1950s to house the expanding aerospace workforce — construction quality varied and some chimney stacks were built to minimum specification. We assess structural soundness alongside mortar condition on every chimney inspection.

Chimney Repairs in Farnborough — 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.
