Project Journal: Chimney Repair & Damp Prevention Project
This project involved tackling a chimney on a property in Dorset with blown render that was allowing water ingress and causing significant damp issues inside the property.
Our team at Measure Twice Construction carried out a full repair to restore both function and appearance:
Removed all old, damaged render from the chimney
Installed new leadwork where required to ensure a watertight seal
Prepped and beaded the surface for durability and accuracy
Applied a scratch coat followed by a top coat for a smooth, long-lasting finish
The result is a fully protected chimney, preventing future water penetration and safeguarding the property against damp. With a clean new finish, this repair not only improves the home’s resilience but also enhances its overall curb appeal.
If you’re dealing with chimney leaks, blown render, or damp problems, Measure Twice Construction can provide expert solutions that last.
