About Old Colwyn Properties
Large 1960s-70s estates on hillside south of A55. Coed Pella Road, Bro Eirwg. Victorian village core around St Catherine's Church. Elevated position above the coast.
Hillside elevation means more frequent and severe frost than coastal towns. South-westerly wind funnelling. 1960s-70s tile stock at end of design life.
Why Old Colwyn Specifically Matters for Chimney Repairs
Old Colwyn's hillside elevation and south-westerly exposure creates one of the more aggressive chimney environments in our coverage area for mortar erosion. The Victorian village core around St Catherine's Church has stone and rendered chimney stacks that require specific lime mortar specification — different from the brick stacks on the 1960s-70s estates. We hold both NHL 2 and NHL 3.5 mixes for correct specification across different construction types.
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.
