Chimney Rendering in Frome
Rendering, repointing and weatherproofing chimney stacks — the most exposed masonry on any house.
If you are weighing up chimney rendering in Frome, the starting point is what your walls are actually built from.
The prevailing picture in Somerset is Bath stone, cob cottages, Georgian terraces and modern coastal housing. That means lime work on Bath stone and cob, coastal weathering at Weston-super-Mare comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
Local conditions bring wet south-western conditions with coastal exposure, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Bath's georgian stone is subject to world heritage constraints, and cob in the levels needs lime for exactly the same reasons as in devon.
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 Frome
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.
How much does rendering cost?
It is priced by the square metre and depends on the system, the condition of the walls and access. Our guide-price tool gives an indicative range in about a minute, and the survey turns that into a fixed written quote.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee, and where a full manufacturer-specified system is installed you also get the system warranty on top.
