Pointing and chimney repair to grade II listed property. Pointing to entire front elevation overlooking A62 to repair severe mortar damage. Mortar will be as similar as possible to match that existing at the property. We are happy to take advice on specific mix. Minor repair to inside of chimney (some cracks leading to damp further down the chimney breast). This is to ensure damp does not lead to more severe damage to the structure or stone work in the future. Replacement of cowl on chimney pot to prevent water penetration of the chimney. We are happy to take advice on style and material of cowl and will try to match to adjoining properties.
