About Conwy Properties
Medieval and Victorian terraces within and adjacent to the walled town. Original Welsh slate. Victorian stock on Bangor Road and surrounding streets outside the walls.
Estuary location with morning mist and high humidity from the Conwy River. Conwy Mountain to the west creates micro-weather patterns. Conservation area restrictions on all visible materials.
Why Conwy Specifically Matters for Chimney Repairs
Conwy's Victorian terraces outside the walls have some of the densest chimney stack concentrations in our coverage area — particularly along Bangor Road and the streets behind the station. Properties adjacent to the town walls have additional planning constraints: all mortar and repair material must match the historic fabric. We work with Conwy's conservation officer on complex chimney repairs near the walls.
Our Chimney Repairs Process
Full Stack Inspection from Scaffold
We don't quote chimney repairs from the ground. A full inspection from scaffold level identifies mortar condition, flashing integrity, pot stability and render cracks before we price the work.
Correct Mortar Specification
Period properties require NHL lime mortar — not cement. Cement mortar on soft stone or handmade brick causes accelerated decay. We specify correctly every time.
Lead Flashings to BS Standard
All flashing replacement uses code-grade lead to BS EN 12588. Step flashings, soakers, back gutters and aprons installed to current standards with correct lap and fixings.
