Chimneys take a real battering from the weather. Up there in the wind and rain with no protection, the mortar slowly perishes, the lead flashings work loose, and the pot can crack or shift. If you’ve spotted crumbling mortar, damp patches inside near the chimney breast, or pieces of debris in the fireplace, it’s time for a proper look.
First 4 Contracts Ltd carry out the full range of chimney services across Cardiff, Newport and South Wales — repointing, repairs, relining, waterproofing, cleaning and full inspections. Whether you’re using your fire regularly or your chimney is purely decorative, keeping it in good shape protects the rest of your home from water damage and structural issues.
Many of the chimney problems we see start small — a bit of soft mortar, a slipped flashing — and turn into expensive damp problems in the bedroom or living room below. Sorting them early is always cheaper and easier. We’re happy to take a look and give you honest advice with no obligation.
All our chimney work is done by experienced roofers with the right access equipment. We don’t cut corners on safety up there, and we don’t cut corners on the workmanship either.
Chimney Pointing & Repointing
Old, soft mortar lets water seep into the brickwork. Repointing — raking out the old mortar and replacing it with a proper sand and cement mix — restores the chimney’s weatherproofing and structural integrity. It’s one of the most cost-effective things you can do for an older chimney.
Chimney Relining
If you use a wood burner or open fire, the flue liner is what keeps smoke and gases safely on the right side of your wall. Old or damaged liners are a serious safety issue. We fit new flexible stainless-steel liners suitable for solid fuel, gas or oil.
Waterproofing & Capping
Chimney pots without proper caps let rain straight in. We fit purpose-made caps and apply breathable waterproofing treatments to keep moisture out without trapping condensation inside the brickwork.
