Kington, Herefordshire
Chimney Rendering in Kington
Rendering, repointing and weatherproofing chimney stacks — the most exposed masonry on any house.
We carry out chimney rendering across Kington and the surrounding Herefordshire area throughout the year.
The prevailing picture in Herefordshire is timber-framed halls, sandstone cottages and rural farm buildings. That means lime render on timber-frame and sandstone, and cement removal from historic fabric comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
Local conditions bring moderate rainfall with rural exposure, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. The county has one of the highest concentrations of timber-framed buildings in england, where breathable lime is the only appropriate specification.
When chimney rendering is the right call. Choose chimney rendering where a stack is spalling, the pointing has failed, or damp is showing in upstairs rooms near a chimney breast.

FAQs
Chimney Rendering in Kington
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
Are you insured?
Yes — full public liability cover, and we can send the certificate before we start. We are happy to provide RAMS for commercial and contractor work.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
Why is my chimney causing damp?
Water enters through failed flaunching, cracked render, open pointing or defective flashings, then runs down inside the flue and shows as staining on a chimney breast, often on the floor below.
What is flaunching?
The mortar fillet that beds the chimney pots into the top of the stack and sheds water off it. It cracks and fails with age and is a very common leak point.
