Local context — chimney repairs in Old Windsor
Chimney work in Old Windsor ranges from small repointing jobs to full stack rebuilds with new pots, flaunching and lead flashings. Old Windsor sits inside the Windsor Great Park setting area — Royal Borough conservation officer coordinates with the Crown Estate on any visible-elevation work close to park boundary. For rebuilds at first-floor level or above we always use independent scaffold tied at multiple levels — chimney ladders are an old-school shortcut we don't take.
We work across SL4 with easy access from A308 and Straight Road.

Frequently asked — Chimney Repairs in Old Windsor
How do I know if my chimney needs rebuilding?+
Spalled or cracked bricks, leaning stacks, soft mortar joints or persistent damp on bedroom ceilings in Old Windsor are all signs that a partial or full rebuild is overdue.
Can you fit new cowls and pots?+
Yes — we replace cracked pots, fit bird/squirrel guards and install gas/anti-downdraught cowls across Old Windsor.
Do I need scaffolding for chimney work?+
For anything more than a small flashing repair, yes — proper scaffolding is the only safe way to work on a stack and gives us time to do the job properly.
Do you remove disused chimney stacks in Old Windsor?+
Yes — removal down to roof line, structural pattress where needed, slating-in or tiling-in to match, and a sealed cap if the flue stays in place. Notifiable to Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead as Building Control work.
What mortar do you use for repointing?+
Lime mortar on pre-1919 properties (much of Old Windsor's older stock); NHL 3.5 or cement-lime hybrid on newer brick. Hard sand-cement mortar on old soft brick is one of the biggest causes of spalling.
