Which parts of a chimney does JDL inspect?
JDL checks the brickwork, pointing, flaunching, pots, cowls and surrounding leadwork before recommending the chimney work.
Is repair the only option for a damaged chimney?
Depending on the chimney condition and agreed scope, JDL can recommend repair, rebuilding, capping or safe removal. Masonry and adjoining weathering details are considered together.
Can photographs help with the first assessment?
Yes. Ground-level or safely taken photographs can provide useful context. A final specification may still require an on-site roof survey.
How soon will I receive my roofing quote?
After the site visit, JDL sends your written quotation within 48 hours. Most are sent within 24 hours.
