Can a chimney really be the cause of a roof leak?

About chimney repairs & repointing
Old or disused chimney stacks are a common source of roof leaks, with cracked pointing and failed flashing letting water track down into the property. Anderson Roofing & Building carries out chimney removal and repointing across Falkirk — safely removing disused stacks where they are no longer needed, or repointing and repairing stacks that are staying, with new flashing to keep the roof watertight. Kieran's team has successfully resolved leaks for customers where a chimney had been the hidden cause of damp for years.
Signs you need chimney repairs & repointing
Cracked or crumbling mortar on the chimney stack, staining or damp patches on walls or ceilings near a chimney breast, and a disused chimney that's no longer needed but still costing money in maintenance are all reasons to consider chimney removal or repointing. Loose or leaning stacks should be assessed promptly for safety.

Anderson Roofing carries out full chimney removal (down to roof level or lower, as agreed) for disused stacks, and repointing and flashing repairs for chimneys that are staying in use.
