Comprehensive Chimney Inspections for Burford Homes

Before we lift a single tile, we conduct a thorough inspection of your chimney. We look for everything, from weather damage and cracks to problems with the flashing and pointing. This detailed inspection allows us to accurately diagnose the issue and provide you with the most effective and cost-efficient repair solution. Our surveys provide clear, jargon-free descriptions of any defects we find, together with a detailed quotation for the work required.

Expert Chimney Repointing in Burford: Restoring Structural Integrity

Damaged or missing mortar, also known as pointing, can seriously compromise the structural integrity of your chimney. We offer expert repointing services, carefully removing the old, crumbling mortar and replacing it with fresh, durable material. This not only improves the appearance of your chimney but also prevents water ingress and further damage. We use traditional techniques to ensure a lasting and aesthetically pleasing finish.

If your chimney's brickwork has suffered damage, whether from age, weather, or even a bird nesting, we can help. Our skilled bricklayers are experienced in all types of chimney repairs, from replacing individual damaged bricks to rebuilding sections of the chimney stack. We take pride in matching the existing brickwork as closely as possible, maintaining the character of your Burford home.

Chimney Flue Solutions for Burford Properties

A damaged or blocked chimney flue can be a serious safety hazard, preventing proper ventilation and potentially leading to carbon monoxide build-up. We can inspect, repair, or replace your chimney flue to ensure it's functioning safely and efficiently. Whether it's relining a damaged flue or clearing a blockage, we have the expertise to get the job done right.

Bird Nest Removal and Prevention in Burford Chimneys

Birds nesting in chimneys are a common problem, especially during nesting season. Not only can nests block the flue, posing a safety risk, but they can also cause damage to the chimney structure. We offer safe and humane bird nest removal services, followed by the installation of bird guards to prevent future nesting.

"APX Roofing is who we hired to do our roof inspection prior to buying our home. They discovered a couple of minor issues which enabled us to negotiate a better price from the seller. Their attention to detail and knowledge saved us money in the long run!"

Korbin Marcel

"When our slate roof was losing tiles, we weren’t sure whom to trust to repair it. APX Roofing was recommended to us by a friend, and we couldn't be more happy we called them. They matched the new tiles with the existing, making it look as good as new. Excellent service!"
