"Tom has done two jobs for me now. On both occasions he quoted quickly and efficiently and started work as soon as possible... The work was explained and conducted, then photographed... He also took care to source bricks which blended with the existing which looks good."

"Repair of two chimneys and various parts of our (old) roof. We selected Rightway Roofers because they were very understanding of the repair requirements of our older house. Their workmanship and work ethic was first class and they did a great job for us."

"I have had three jobs done by RRC over the last couple of months. First was a seeping chimney creating a damp patch on the internal chimney brickwork... RRC are very competitively priced, they are administratively very efficient and communicate very well. Their work was carried out in an efficient manner (weather permitting) and to a very high standard. Highly recommend"

Frequently Asked Questions About Chimney Repair & Replacement in Salisbury

What are the common signs of chimney problems in Salisbury?

Common signs include crumbling mortar (especially in older, lime-mortar chimneys common in Salisbury), cracked or damaged chimney pots, leaning chimneys, damp patches on internal walls near the chimney breast, and water ingress during rain. Salisbury's weather can exacerbate these issues, so regular checks are important.

How often should I have my chimney inspected in Salisbury?

We recommend a chimney inspection at least once a year in Salisbury, ideally before the winter months. This allows us to identify any potential problems, such as loose mortar or damaged flashing, before they worsen due to the weather.

We tailor our services to the specific needs of your chimney and property.

What is chimney repointing, and why is it important?
