We were out in Fairhill, Cork City recently with the Munster Gutters team tackling a chimney that was letting water into the home — and if you've ever had a leaking chimney, you'll know it's not something you want to leave!
The lads got stuck in stripping back the old flashing, laying new lead, replacing the felt around the base of the chimney, and finishing everything off with fresh plastering to seal it up properly. Job done right, no shortcuts.
Chimney leaks can cause serious damage to your home if they're left untreated — damp walls, ruined ceilings, and worse. The good news is it's very fixable when you get the right team in early.
If you've noticed water stains on your ceiling near the chimney, or you're not sure when your roof was last checked, it's worth getting it looked at before the worst of the Irish weather arrives!
