Recently, Cambridge Building Repair was called to a charming listed property in Hilton after the homeowner experienced persistent leaks coming from their chimney. Despite having a roofer on-site, the issues remained unresolved, prompting the homeowner to seek our specialist expertise.
Upon inspection, it became clear that the concrete flaunching at the top of the chimney had deteriorated due to age-related wear. This damage was likely allowing water to seep through, causing the interior leaks. After assessing the situation, we recommended the immediate removal and replacement of the defective flaunching to restore the chimney’s weatherproof seal.
