Chimneys
Repair the exposed details around the roof
Chimneys are exposed to weather from every side, so wear around the stack, flashing or surrounding roof covering can quickly become a leak path. The repair has to deal with the junction, not just the obvious mark indoors.

Leak paths
Why chimney leaks need a careful look
A chimney leak may come from pointing, flashing, the surrounding roof covering or water tracking through another nearby defect. Looking at the whole junction gives a better chance of fixing the cause.
Failed junctions
Lead or flashing details need to shed water away from the stack and roof covering.
Nearby coverings
Tiles, slates and roofline details around the chimney should be checked together.

Can chimney problems cause roof leaks?
Yes. Chimneys, flashings and roof junctions are common places for water to get in, so they are sensible areas to check during roof repair work.

Damp near a chimney breast, stained ceilings, cracked pointing, weathered flashing or loose roof coverings near the stack can all justify a closer look.
