R&J Crown Roofing
Chimney Repairs Across Scotland
R & J Crown Roofing provides professional roof repairs across Central and Eastern Scotland for homes and businesses.
Complete Chimney Repairs
Over time, exposed chimney stacks can develop a range of problems that affect their appearance, stability and ability to keep out the weather.
We provide complete chimney repairs covering damaged masonry, mortar joints, flaunching, flashing and other vulnerable areas. Our roofers assess the chimney carefully before recommending work suited to its condition and construction.
Chimney Brickwork Repairs
Cracked, loose or deteriorating bricks can weaken sections of a chimney stack and allow moisture to penetrate the masonry.
Our chimney brickwork repair service includes repairing defective areas and replacing damaged bricks where necessary. Addressing deterioration early can help protect the surrounding masonry and maintain the structural condition of the chimney.
Professional Chimney Repointing
Mortar joints naturally deteriorate as they are repeatedly exposed to rain, frost and changing temperatures. Once mortar begins to crack or fall away, water can penetrate deeper into the chimney.
We provide chimney repointing across Central and Eastern Scotland, removing deteriorated mortar where required and renewing the joints to create a stronger and more weather resistant finish.
Chimney Flaunching Repairs
Damaged or cracked flaunching can allow water into the chimney structure. We can repair or renew chimney flaunching where deterioration has occurred, helping restore a secure and weatherproof finish around the chimney pots.

Can you repair a leaking chimney?

Do you provide chimney repointing?
Yes. We provide chimney repointing where mortar joints have cracked, deteriorated or fallen away.
Can you repair chimney leadwork?
Yes. We repair and replace damaged chimney flashing and leadwork to help maintain a weather resistant connection between the chimney and surrounding roof.
Do you work on older chimney stacks?
Yes. We carry out chimney repairs on traditional properties, including older brick and stone chimney stacks.
Chimney Leadwork and Flashing
The junction between a chimney and the surrounding roof is particularly vulnerable to water penetration. Correctly installed chimney leadwork and flashing help prevent rainwater from entering around this area.
We repair and replace damaged or deteriorating lead flashing where required, paying close attention to the connection between the chimney stack and roofing materials.
Leaking Chimney Repairs
Signs of a leaking chimney can include damp patches, staining on ceilings or walls and moisture appearing around the chimney breast.
The visible signs inside the property do not always show exactly where water is entering. We inspect both the chimney and surrounding roofing area to identify damaged pointing, flashing, masonry or other defects before recommending the appropriate repair.
