Chimney maintenance and repairs

Chimneys occasionally need attention.  Plants left to grow will send their roots deep into the mortar and cause it to break up.  Its better to have plants removed early to avoid unnecessary costs later.  Over time Chimneys can also suffer from weather damage. Repointing the mortar of a damaged chimney will help ensure the stack is weatherproof.
