Chimney stacks on Rowledge's Victorian and 1930s properties take more weather punishment than any other roof element. We repair, repoint and rebuild chimneys across Rowledge using the correct materials for your property age.
Rowledge's housing stock creates specific chimney challenges. Wind-driven rain penetration on west-facing clay tile roofs. Nail sickness on Victorian slate. Lead flashing failure at dormers. Ridge mortar failure from wind exposure on elevated plots. On Victorian and 1930s properties we carry lime mortar mixes as standard — critical for preventing spalling on older brickwork.
Village character with Victorian and Edwardian cottages in the centre, 1930s semis on the outskirts. Natural slate and clay tile dominant on older properties.
Wind-driven rain penetration on west-facing clay tile roofs. Nail sickness on Victorian slate. Lead flashing failure at dormers. Ridge mortar failure from wind exposure on elevated plots.
Rowledge sits on elevated ground south of Farnham on the Surrey-Hampshire border. Exposed to south-westerly weather — wind-driven rain is a persistent challenge on west-facing elevations.
Rowledge's elevated position means ridge and hip mortar fails faster than in sheltered valley properties. We see more wind uplift damage here than almost anywhere else in the Farnham area.
We cover Rowledge (GU10) and all Farnham postcodes. Same-day surveys Monday to Saturday. Emergency call-outs 24/7. Call 0125 244 7622.

Rowledge's elevation on the Surrey-Hampshire border creates wind loading conditions unlike sheltered valley properties. The south-westerly exposure means ridge and hip mortar on west-facing elevations deteriorates faster here than anywhere else in the Farnham area. After any significant Atlantic storm, Rowledge properties should be checked from ground level for displaced ridge tiles.

For Victorian and Edwardian properties in Rowledge — common in Hale, Upper Hale and the town centre — NHL lime mortar must be used. Hard cement mortars cause brickwork to crack. We always specify correctly.
Open or cracking mortar joints visible from ground level, damp patches on the chimney breast inside, or white salt deposits on external brickwork are all signs repointing is needed.
