Chimney Stack
Most often constructed of brick and is usually the most visible element of your chimney.
Chimneys are an essential part of the majority of most homes in the UK, although we rarely get to see them up close and personal. With stills and video footage from Drone Site Surveys, you can now find out exactly what state of repair your chimney is in.
Chimney Terminology
Chimney Pots
Installed correctly, chimney pots allow adequate ventilation from your homes heating system.
Flaunching
This is the mortar bed that secures your pots to the stack, and prevents rainwater access.
Lead Flashing
Flashings are cut into the brickwork around the stack to maintain a watertight roof.
Cowls, Pots and Caps
These reduce downdraft and stop birds and rainwater from entering the flue.
Lead Soakers
Hidden leadwork at the base of the stack underneath the tiles for water tightness.
