Sandhurst, Berkshire
Chimney Repairs in Sandhurst
Sandhurst's 1950s and 1960s housing included chimney stacks serving back boilers and open fires — many of these stacks are still standing but decommissioned, and the mortar joints are now eroding after decades of exposure. Legacy Roofing carries out chimney repointing, flashing repairs, and stack capping across Sandhurst.
Decommissioned chimney stacks on Sandhurst's post-war housing are a common call — the fireplace has been removed but the stack left standing, and without regular maintenance the pointing deteriorates and water tracks down inside the breast. We cap these correctly with a ventilated cap that prevents water entry while allowing the flue to breathe.

Chimney Repairs in Sandhurst — 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.
