RD Roofing & Construction provides professional chimney rebuilds in Belfast for properties where chimney brickwork has deteriorated beyond the point of smaller repairs or repointing alone.
Chimneys are highly exposed to Northern Ireland's weather and can deteriorate through years of wind, rain and moisture. Where required, damaged sections can be carefully rebuilt, with associated brickwork, pointing, lead flashing and surrounding roofing addressed to provide a secure and weather-resistant finish.
Our chimney rebuilding service covers Belfast as well as Greater Belfast, Bangor, Newtownards and North Down.
A deteriorated chimney can involve more than damaged mortar joints. Loose or damaged bricks, failing masonry and defects where the chimney meets the roof can all require attention.
RD Roofing & Construction has experience completing chimney rebuilds alongside wider roofing work. The condition of the existing stack can be assessed to determine the extent of rebuilding required, with surrounding tiles, slates and leadwork also addressed where necessary.
Where deterioration is limited to particular sections of a chimney, affected masonry can be rebuilt without necessarily replacing the complete stack. The appropriate work depends on the condition of the existing brickwork.
Damaged, loose and weathered chimney brickwork can affect both the condition and stability of the stack. We undertake masonry repairs and rebuilding where more extensive work is required.
Rebuilding a chimney may also require attention to the junction with the roof. Lead flashing and surrounding tiles or slates can be repaired or renewed to help create a watertight finish around the completed chimney.
CHIMNEY REBUILDING & ROOFING FOR BELFAST HOMES
Because a chimney passes through the roofing system, rebuilding work needs to consider both the masonry and the surrounding roof.
Our combination of chimney and roofing experience allows related work to be completed together where required, rather than treating the chimney and roof as entirely separate areas.
AREAS WE COVER
Belfast is our primary service area for chimney rebuilding, covering properties throughout North Belfast, South Belfast, East Belfast and West Belfast.
We also undertake chimney work across Newtownabbey, Glengormley, Carrickfergus, Dundonald, Castlereagh, Carryduff and Lisburn, extending into North Down and Ards, including Bangor, Holywood, Newtownards, Comber, Donaghadee and surrounding areas.
Everything You Need To Know
Signs of significant deterioration can include loose or damaged bricks, extensive mortar failure and sections of masonry that have become unstable or badly weathered. The chimney needs to be assessed to determine whether repairs, repointing or rebuilding are most appropriate.
Yes. Where deterioration is confined to a particular part of the stack, a partial rebuild may be possible. The amount of masonry that needs replacing will depend on the condition of the existing chimney.
Sometimes. If the brickwork remains sound and deterioration mainly affects mortar joints or individual areas, repairs or repointing may be sufficient. More extensive deterioration can make rebuilding necessary.
Leadwork can be renewed where required. Because the flashing forms the weatherproof junction between the chimney and roof, its condition should be considered when rebuilding or carrying out substantial chimney repairs.
Yes. RD Roofing & Construction provides both chimney and roofing services, so surrounding tiles, slates, felt and other relevant roofing components can be addressed where required.
Yes. Chimney rebuilding can be incorporated into a wider roof replacement project where both the chimney and existing roofing system require substantial work.
Yes. Chimney removal is also within the wider range of work previously undertaken, including making good and re-roofing the affected section once the chimney has been removed.
Alongside Belfast, we cover Greater Belfast and surrounding areas including Newtownabbey, Glengormley, Carrickfergus, Dundonald and Lisburn, extending into North Down and Ards, including Bangor, Holywood, Newtownards and Comber.
