Questions to ask before work starts
These answers explain what photos can show, what still needs inspection and how access and quotation details are agreed.
All Dundee roofing FAQsCan you quote for chimney repairs from photographs?
Photos often help us understand the likely problem and the safest next step. A final quote may still need a close site inspection, especially where the source of water is hidden.
What else is checked with chimney repairs?
A sound chimney repairs plan should include the surrounding covering, fixings, flashings and water route rather than treating one visible symptom on its own.
Will chimney repairs need scaffolding?
Safe access for chimney repairs depends on the height, roof shape and surroundings. The quotation should explain the proposed access after the roof has been assessed.
Can chimney repairs be completed in wet or windy weather?
Some make-safe work may be possible, but permanent chimney repairs needs suitable conditions and a safe surface. Never climb onto a wet or damaged roof yourself.
What should my chimney repairs quote include?
