“Correct mortar specified without being asked. First contractor to do this correctly on our property.”
“Grade-4 lead for the flashings. Previous contractor used grade-3. The difference matters in this location.”
“They assessed all four elevations of the stack. Found the north face had worse recession than the south — expected for the wind direction here.”
Ainsdale Village's estate streets — Shore Road, Sandhurst Avenue and Beechfield Avenue — carry 1960s–70s detached and semi-detached properties that are now approaching or past the 50-year mark. Concrete interlocking tile is universal on this cohort. The most significant issue facing Ainsdale Village homeowners is nail sickness: corroded galvanised fixings in the 1962–1978 tile installation cohort.
Every chimney survey accesses the stack directly — we do not quote chimney work from the ground. The assessment checks: mortar joint recession depth, brick surface condition, lead step flashing performance, soaker condition at tile courses, back gutter lead, and chimney pot fixing. You receive a written report before any work is agreed.
Mortar specification for Southport chimneys depends on the brick age and type. Pre-1900 soft brick requires NHL lime mortar — Portland cement on Victorian terrace brick causes spalling. Post-war brick and stone accepts marine mortar — sulphate-resisting Portland cement provides better salt air resistance than standard cement-sand mix.
Grade-4 lead is standard on all Southport chimney flashing work — grade-3 has a shorter service life in the coastal humidity conditions of the Sefton coast. All lead is mechanically fixed and correctly dressed to the tile profile. No sealant is used as a primary fixing at any junction. Call 01704 620 427 for a free chimney assessment.
