Following our drone survey we identified that this chimney had been left as bare brick and had deteriorated significantly over time. To protect it from further weather damage and extend its lifespan we carried out a full render system to the chimney along with repairs and rendering to both the front and rear firewalls.

Works carried out:

✅ Chimney brickwork prepared and cleaned down

✅ SBR primer applied to all brickwork

✅ New drip beads installed over leadwork

✅ New corner beads installed

✅ Scratch coat of render with waterproof additive applied

✅ Top coat of render with waterproof additive applied

✅ New flaunching formed

✅ Front firewall repaired and rendered

✅ Rear firewall repaired and rendered

✅ Leadwork checked and maintained

✅ All waste removed from site

CONTRACT AWARDED 👌🤙

Following a successful few weeks at Harwood Dental Practice, where we completed the chimney rendering works and carried out repairs across the entire roofline, we are pleased to announce that AKM Group Chimney Repair Specialists have now been awarded the contract to undertake the external painting works to the building.

It is always a great achievement when a customer is happy enough with our workmanship to entrust us with further projects, and we would like to thank Harwood Dental Practice for their continued confidence in our company.

Made solid progress on our dental practice project in Tavistock this week.

All 4 chimneys have now been hacked off, with all brick repairs completed, including several large sections of loose masonry carefully taken down and rebuilt.

All chimneys have also now received their scratch coat and are fully prepared ready for beading next week, followed by top coating towards the end of next week once temperatures are slightly lower.

This is a large ongoing project consisting of:

✅ 4 full chimney renders
✅ Full roof maintenance
✅ Gutter maintenance
✅ 2 lead dormer maintenance works
✅ 1 lead flat roof maintenance repair
✅ Extensive maintenance to a large lead bay roof
✅ Installation of new drip beads
✅ Various additional repairs identified during the works

Plenty still to do on this one, but everything is progressing well so far.

Photos and videos will be posted once we get further along into the project.

Chimney flaunching renewal and lead maintenance completed in Ivybridge this week.

The old flaunching had started cracking and breaking away around the chimney pots, allowing water into the top of the stack. We renewed the flaunching and carried out lead maintenance at the same time to get everything sealed back up properly.

✅ Chimney flaunching renewed
✅ Lead maintenance carried out
✅ Stack checked over and sealed correctly
✅ Site left clean and tidy afterwards

One of those jobs that gets ignored for too long until it starts causing bigger problems internally.
