Project Overview:
Northern Heritage Roofing recently completed a detailed chimney refurbishment on a residential property in Jarrow, Tyne and Wear. The homeowner reached out due to signs of wear on the existing stack, including deteriorating mortar joints, loose chimney pots, and visible brick damage.

Scope of Work:
The project involved a full refurbishment of the chimney stack, ensuring both its structural integrity and long-term weather resistance. The works carried out included:

• Comprehensive repointing of all mortar joints
• Rebuilding areas with damaged bricks, using matched replacements
• Fresh haunching for weatherproofing the stack base
• Resetting and securing the original chimney pots

Our team approached the job with a focus on preserving the character of the chimney while reinforcing its durability against harsh weather conditions.

Materials Used:

• Lime-based mortar (to match original structure)
• Weatherproof haunching compound
• Reclaimed bricks for a seamless blend
• Safety scaffolding and edge protection

Challenges & Solutions:
Working at height in changing weather conditions presented typical challenges, but by using weather-appropriate materials and employing efficient scaffolding systems, we kept the project both safe and on schedule.

Outcome:
The chimney now stands solid, secure, and visually refreshed, giving the homeowner peace of mind and adding to the property's overall appeal.
