Chimney Repairs in Ibstock: what to know

The shared stacks that rise between Ibstock’s terraced houses were laid in local brick and lime mortar, and a hundred-odd winters have hollowed the joints out further than the face lets on. Repointing is the usual remedy on these stacks, along with re-flaunching around loose pots and renewing the stepped flashings and soakers where the stack meets the slates. Where a stack has been redundant since the fireplaces came out we can take it down below the slates and close the roof over, and where one needs rebuilding, matching the brick is rarely a problem in the village that makes them.

Who pays to repair a chimney stack shared with next door in Ibstock?

Many of the terraces off High Street share a stack across the party wall. A shared stack is usually treated as a party structure under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, and where repairs are needed because of disrepair, the Act splits the cost according to each owner’s use of it and responsibility for the defect. Most neighbours simply agree it between themselves; the Act sets out a formal notice route if they cannot. We can price the stack as one job so both households can see the cost before work starts.
