Chimney Repairs in Upminster
Upminster has a range of property types from Victorian and Edwardian stock through to interwar semis and more recent development. Older properties in the area often have chimney stacks that have seen little attention — mortar deterioration, cracked flaunching, and efflorescence on the face of the stack are common findings on first inspection. The right repair depends on the age of the stack, the mortar type, and the extent of the damage. We assess each chimney individually before recommending any works.
Chimney lining is a regular job in Upminster. For open fire relining, the specification is 180mm minimum for gas open fires and GFE appliances, 200mm for solid fuel — both installed to a stainless steel gather hood seated within the brick gather and sealed above. For solid fuel stoves, 125mm or 150mm Class 1 316-grade liner is standard. Every lining job in Upminster is HETAS certified, with building control notification included and the certificate issued on completion. Rope access on most domestic stacks, scaffold arranged where the structure or height requires it.
