Why have your chimney renovated by Koning Dakwerk?

A chimney catches everything: rain from the side, frost in the joints, and sun on the lead. That is why it is almost always the chimney that requires attention first, and almost always at multiple points at once. Repairing only the pointing while the lead has sagged merely postpones the problem for a season.

We therefore tackle the chimney as a whole: pointing, lead flashing, the capping plate, and the connection to the tiles. You will see photos of the work beforehand, receive a fixed price in writing, and afterwards, visual proof plus a 10-year written warranty certificate.

What are the consequences of a bad chimney?

We too often see that a chimney only receives attention when there is already a damp patch inside. What was once just pointing and a lead flashing has penetrated the masonry and the attic wall, and that repair is many times more expensive.
 

Leakage along the chimney

Sagging lead is one of the most common causes of damp spots in the attic.

Striking masonry

Open joints soak up rainwater. The wall gets wet from the inside.

Frost damage in the joints

Water in the joints freezes and cracks. Every winter, more crumbles away.

Falling rocks

Loose stones or cover plates can slide off the roof. That is a risk to everything underneath.

Ultimately: rebuild

A chimney that has been neglected for too long must be partially or completely rebuilt.

We work with premium brands

For long-lasting results, we work exclusively with proven quality brands, including Monier, Wienerberger, and Bitasco.

Chimney repair

Not every chimney needs to be completely renovated. Replacing a loose cover plate, sealing a crack in the plasterwork, or replacing a single lead flashing: these are targeted repairs that we often carry out in a single visit, frequently combined with other roofing work so that you do not pay separate call-out charges.

During the inspection, you will be told honestly what suffices. If a repair is sufficient, we advise against renovation; if the chimney is structurally worn out, we will calculate both scenarios for you.

Pointing and leadwork

Pointing and lead flashing are the two lines of defense for your chimney. We chisel out worn joints and repoint them with a mortar that matches the masonry, allowing the wall to continue breathing. We do not apply synthetic repair materials over poor pointing; that actually traps moisture.

We replace the leadwork around the base with new lead or a modern lead substitute, neatly cut into the joint. More about us lead and zinc work you can read this on the dedicated page.

After heavy rainfall, the roof drain was leaking. After making a few calls, these guys were able to quickly fix the problem with an emergency repair to limit the damage. Thanks!

How much does a chimney renovation cost?

The costs depend on the condition of the pointing, the amount of lead that needs to be replaced, and the accessibility of the chimney. A chimney on the ridge of a terraced house requires a different setup than a wide chimney on a detached house.

 

After the free inspection, you will receive a fixed price in writing, broken down by component. That is the amount you pay, with no surprises afterwards.

In Rucphen, we fitted the roof of a newly built house with anthracite-colored roof tiles.

Frequently asked questions about chimneys

Do you have questions about chimneys? In this FAQ, we answer the most frequently asked questions. A roofer from Maassluis stands for clear, honest, and reliable advice.
Probably: sagging lead or open jointing is a classic cause. We determine this during the free inspection; if it concerns the roof surface itself, you can read more at roof leak.
No, sweeping is a job for the chimney sweep. We handle the exterior: the pointing, lead flashing, capping, and the connection to the roof. Combining that with the sweep is actually smart: then the chimney is in order both inside and out.
Well-executed pointing lasts for decades. The combination with new lead is crucial: together they keep the chimney dry, and dry masonry hardly wears.
With every frost period, the joints are pushed further open and the wall absorbs more water. What is now pointing and a lead flashing then becomes damp masonry or loose stone. Call 06 219 66 766 for the free inspection; then you will know if it can wait another winter.
