Chimney Repairs
A chimney is a critical part of your home’s ventilation system. Over time, it can deteriorate due to exposure to harsh weather conditions, the build-up of creosote, or structural wear. Proper maintenance not only extends the life of your chimney but also ensures that it functions efficiently and safely. Without timely repairs, issues such as leaks, blockages, or cracks can escalate, leading to more significant problems like water damage or fire hazards. At O’Brien’s Roofers Wicklow, we prioritise your home’s safety with our thorough and professional chimney repair services.

TYPES OF CHIMNEY REPAIRS OFFERED BY O’BRIEN’S ROOFERS WICKLOW
Chimney Repointing
Over time, the mortar between bricks on a chimney can deteriorate due to constant exposure to the elements. Chimney repointing involves removing old, damaged mortar and replacing it with fresh mortar to reinforce the structure. This process restores the chimney’s strength and prevents further decay. Repointing is vital in stopping water ingress, which can cause internal dampness and structural damage.
Chimney Relining
A cracked or damaged flue liner can lead to dangerous fumes, including carbon monoxide, seeping into your home. Our chimney relining service ensures that your chimney operates safely by installing a new liner or repairing the existing one. We use durable materials, ensuring your chimney’s liner will stand the test of time, safeguarding both your property and your family.
Chimney Cowl Installation
Installing a chimney cowl is essential for preventing birds, debris, and rain from entering your chimney. A properly fitted chimney cowl enhances airflow and reduces downdraught, allowing your chimney to function more efficiently. We offer a variety of cowls to suit different chimney types, ensuring protection from unwanted blockages.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Chimney flashing is the material that seals the area where the chimney meets the roof. Damaged flashing can cause leaks, leading to water penetration and significant damage to both your chimney and roof. Our team at O’Brien’s Roofers Wicklow specialises in flashing repairs and replacements, ensuring a watertight seal that keeps your roof and chimney secure from moisture.
Chimney Rebuilding
In some cases, chimneys may suffer extensive damage and require complete rebuilding. Our chimney rebuilding service ensures that your chimney is restored to its original condition using high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. Whether it’s a partial rebuild or a complete restoration, we guarantee durability and long-term protection.
Chimney Waterproofing
Preventing water damage is one of the most effective ways to prolong the life of your chimney. Our chimney waterproofing service involves applying a protective, breathable sealant that repels water while allowing trapped moisture to escape. This process prevents water infiltration, which can cause cracking, spalling, and other structural issues.
Smoke and Gas Testing
If your chimney isn’t drawing smoke or fumes properly, it may need smoke and gas testing. Our comprehensive smoke and gas testing services identify blockages or leaks that could be affecting your chimney’s performance. We then provide the necessary repairs to ensure your chimney is working safely and efficiently.
Chimney Cap Repair and Replacement
A damaged or missing chimney cap can allow rain, snow, and debris to enter the chimney, leading to potential blockages or water damage. We offer chimney cap repair and replacement to ensure your chimney stays protected from the elements. Our caps also help keep out birds and other animals that may try to nest inside your chimney.
