Chimney flaunching repair Sutton
Is your chimney flaunching showing signs of wear and in need of repair? Our experienced team can restore your chimney’s flaunching to protect and preserve its structure.
Repairing chimney flaunching is critical for maintaining the safety and efficiency of your chimney. It involves fixing the crown — the uppermost part of the chimney — to prevent water from seeping inside.
Flaunching is a mortar-like material that seals the base of the chimney pots, shielding the chimney from rain, snow, wind, and ice. Over time, harsh weather and freeze/thaw cycles can cause the flaunching to crack and deteriorate, leading to moisture ingress and further structural damage. It’s important to have flaunching repairs carried out by skilled professionals to ensure a secure, long-lasting seal.

What is the cause of chimney leaks?
There are few things that can cause your chimney to leak, but five major culprits of leaking chimneys are:
- Damaged flashing, this is the metal band running around the base of most chimney’s that connects the chimney to the roof. If this becomes damaged or loose, rain water can leak into the roof or the adjoining walls.
- Damaged crown or flaunching, the crown is situated at the very top of the chimney and can be made of a solid slab or mortar known as flaunching.
- If the crown becomes cracked or damaged or the flaunching deteriorates over time, then water can leak into the chimney cavity and make its way down the chimney causing further damage to the lining.
- Deterioration of the mortar and masonry, if the pointing between the bricks or stones of your chimney deteriorate, this will allow moisture to enter into the chimney causing further deterioration over time.
- No chimney cap or cowl, if your chimney is no longer in use then a chimney cap should be fitted to prevent rain, snow and debris from entering your chimney. If your chimney is being used, a cowl can be fitted to reduce water ingress into the chimney.

What do chimney cowls do?
Chimney cowls are designed to improve the efficiency and safety of your chimney. These devices are installed on the top of a chimney pot and serve a variety of important functions. Chimney cowls protect your home from the wind, birds, nesting animals, debris that can cause damage to your chimney over time. Not only do they provide protection against these threats, they also help to increase the performance of your fireplace or stove.
There are several different types of chimney cowls available on the market today.

What is chimney flaunching?
Chimney flaunching is the mortar that sits on the crown of your chimney and surrounds the base of the pots holding them in position. With a 3:1 mix of cement and sand, the flaunching gives a durable waterproof barrier, preventing water penetrating the chimney crown and chimney cavity.
Overtime chimney flaunching can deteriorate allowing water ingress. It is important to quickly repair your flaunching should it become cracked to prevent further damage to the structure of your chimney and the chimney lining. As the flaunching also secures the pots to your chimney crown it is important to make repairs to prevent the pots working loose.

Should I cap my chimney if it is no longer used?
In many homes, chimneys are used to vent smoke and other fumes from fireplaces. However, when a chimney is no longer in use, there are several benefits to capping it off. Capping a chimney can help protect the home from water damage, reduce energy costs, and keep pests out of the property.
Capping a chimney helps to prevent water from getting into your home through the top of the structure by creating a waterproof seal. Additionally, when wind blows into an uncapped chimney, it can cause air drafts that increase heating bills in the winter. By capping off your unused chimney you can save money on monthly utility costs as well as preventing water damage due to rain or snow entering through your roofing system.
