Professional Chimney Repair & Restoration Services in Cork

At Keane Construction, we provide professional chimney repairs and restoration throughout Cork City and County, backed by over 30 years of building experience.

Chimneys are constantly exposed to rain, wind and changing weather conditions. Over time, mortar joints can deteriorate, lead flashing can fail, render can crack and masonry or chimney pots can become damaged or unstable.

We carry out everything from straightforward chimney repairs and repointing to more extensive restoration work, always focusing on identifying the cause of the problem and providing a practical, long-lasting solution.

Whether you have a leaking chimney, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or an older chimney stack requiring restoration, Keane Construction can assess the condition and recommend the appropriate repairs.

Chimney-repairs in Cork

Mortar joints are particularly vulnerable to weathering and can gradually crack, loosen or wash away. Once mortar begins to deteriorate, water can penetrate deeper into the chimney structure, potentially causing further damage to the masonry.

Keane Construction provides professional chimney repointing in Cork, removing deteriorated mortar where necessary and restoring the joints to help protect the chimney against further weather damage.

The area where a chimney meets the roof is particularly vulnerable to water penetration.

Damaged, cracked or incorrectly installed lead flashing can allow rainwater to enter around the chimney and into the roof structure.

We carry out chimney lead flashing repairs and replacement, carefully inspecting the chimney-to-roof junction as well as the surrounding slates or tiles to ensure the area is properly weatherproofed.

A leaking chimney can be difficult to diagnose because the point where water becomes visible inside the property is not always where it is entering.

Water penetration may be caused by deteriorated pointing, damaged flashing, cracked render, defective masonry or problems with the surrounding roof.

Rather than simply treating the visible symptom, we inspect the chimney and adjoining roofing area to identify the likely source of the leak before recommending repairs.

Older chimney stacks can require more extensive work, particularly where years of exposure have resulted in deterioration across several areas.
Our chimney restoration services in Cork can include repairs to masonry, repointing, rendering, leadwork, chimney pots and surrounding roofing. Where practical, we aim to retain the existing chimney structure while repairing and restoring the areas necessary to improve its strength, appearance and resistance to the weather.

Damaged, loose or deteriorating chimney pots should be addressed before they become a safety concern or allow additional water into the chimney. We can repair or replace damaged chimney pots and carry out appropriate chimney capping work where required.
The correct solution will depend on the condition of the chimney and whether the flue remains in use.

Because Keane Construction provides both roofing and chimney repair services, we can inspect and repair the complete area surrounding the chimney.

This is particularly important with water ingress, where the problem may involve a combination of chimney pointing, flashing, roof tiles or slates.

Having one contractor assess both the chimney and roof can make identifying and resolving these problems considerably simpler.
