From repointing and re-flaunching to full rebuilds, lead flashing and cowl fitting — we make leaking and leaning stacks safe and watertight across Tayside. Free quotes.
The chimney stack is the most exposed part of any roof. It sits at the highest point of the house, takes the full force of wind and rain from every direction, and the junction where the stack meets the roof is one of the most common sources of leaks on older Scottish properties. Storm Guard Roofing & Building carries out all types of chimney repair work across Dundee, Perth and Angus — from minor repointing to full stack rebuilds.
When a chimney leaks, the water often travels a fair distance before it shows up as a damp patch on the ceiling or wall. We find the actual source — whether that's failed flashing, cracked flaunching or deteriorating mortar joints — and fix it properly rather than patching over symptoms.
Many homes in the Dundee and Perth area have chimneys that haven't been used in decades. A disused stack still needs maintenance — and if it's starting to lean or the brickwork is spalling, it becomes a safety risk. We can remove a redundant chimney to roof level or take it down fully, then make the roof good so it's neat, weathertight and worry-free. The opening is closed off with new tiles, an underlay and proper flashing — no trace it was ever there.
Spalling brickwork, a leaning stack and cracked flaunching aren't just a leak risk — they can become genuinely dangerous. A poorly maintained chimney can shed loose bricks, and a stack that's leaning significantly needs attention before it becomes urgent. The good news is that most chimney problems caught early are straightforward repairs. Left too long, they tend to become more involved jobs. If you've noticed damp near a chimney breast, spotted loose mortar or seen a pot that doesn't look straight, it's worth getting it looked at. We offer free inspections and free quotes across Dundee, Perth and Angus.
For problems that extend beyond the chimney itself, our roof repairs service covers the surrounding tiles and slates, and our repointing team handles mortar joints across the rest of the property.

Chimney leaks are usually down to failed lead flashing where the stack meets the roof, or cracked flaunching and mortar at the top. We find which it is and fix the actual cause.
Yes. We can take down a redundant stack to roof level (or remove it fully) and make the roof good with new tiles, membrane and flashing so it's neat and watertight.
Flaunching is the sloped bed of mortar at the top of the chimney that holds the pots in place and sheds rainwater. When it cracks, water gets in — re-flaunching renews it.
Yes. Cowls help stop downdraught and rain getting in, and bird guards keep birds and nests out of the flue.
