Repair a chimney with me! Danny's chimney repair service

Dannys Chimney Repair Service - In this video, I’m in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, repairing a tired old chimney that’s been letting in water and even allowing birds to fall down the flues. The job includes: Grinding out and repointing all the chimney brickwork Removing cracked, loose, and failed flaunching from the stack Mixing up a stronger mortar (with SBR bond) for a new, watertight flaunch Fitting cowls to three disused chimney pots to stop damp and prevent birds from nesting Taking down a redundant TV aerial Leaving the entire chimney neat, watertight, and safe for years to come This video is a step-by-step guide showing how I prepare, mix, and apply new flaunching, as well as my approach to repointing using a mortar gun for speed and consistency.
