About Deganwy Properties
Affluent residential village on the Conwy estuary. Mix of modern marina-area properties, 1960s-70s bungalows on the hillside, and Victorian villas near the castle ruins.
Estuary humidity from Conwy River. Views across to Conwy Castle. Hillside properties get direct south-westerly exposure. Marina area properties face north over the estuary.
Why Deganwy Specifically Matters for Chimney Repairs
Deganwy's Victorian villas near the castle ruins have substantial chimney stacks — some with multiple pots and complex lead flashing arrangements. These properties have not always been maintained to the standard their original construction warrants. Mortar erosion on the exposed west-facing stack faces is the most consistent issue. We carry out a full inspection from scaffold level on these properties before quoting.
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.
