Service · A1 Chimney & Roofing
Chimney restoration is the combined repair that brings a weathered chimney back into sound condition. It is used when several parts have aged together: the masonry, the crown, and sometimes the flashing.

The work
A restoration is planned from an inspection, not from a single product. Failed mortar is cut out and repacked. Broken brick is replaced. The crown is repaired or rebuilt. Flashing is replaced if it is part of the leak. A cap is added or replaced if the flue is open to the weather.
It is not a disguise. Surface coating over rotten mortar is not restoration. If the chimney is too far gone above the roof, a rebuild of that section is the honest scope.
Why it matters
Older chimneys often fail in more than one place at once. Fixing only the brick while the crown still funnels water in means the new mortar is wet by the next winter.
Restoration sequences the repairs so the water path is closed and the masonry that remains is solid.
