Chimney repairs and rebuilds in Holbeach
From repointing to a complete take-down and rebuild, we look after the whole stack and the lead around it.
A customer in Holbeach had a chimney that was past saving, so we took it down and rebuilt it. That one job says most of what needs saying about our chimney work: repointing when the mortar has weathered, rebuilding when the brickwork has gone too far, and complete take-downs when a stack is doing nothing but letting the weather in.
Repoint, rebuild or remove
Not every tired chimney needs rebuilding. Sometimes the brick is sound and the joints just need repointing. Sometimes the upper courses have failed and need taking down and relaying. And sometimes the honest answer is that a disused stack is all risk and no use, and removing it is the right call. We look, we photograph what we find, and we tell you plainly which of the three you are dealing with.
The lead matters as much as the brick
Where a chimney meets the roof is one of the hardest-working joints on the whole house. We renew the full set: soakers under the tiles, step flashing up the sides, an apron across the front and a back gutter behind. We have repaired a chimney where the stack itself was kept and the cure was new lead work around it. If your ceiling stains near the chimney breast, the lead is the first suspect.
Old stacks over old roofs
All Saints and its tall spire have stood over Holbeach for centuries, and some of the chimneys on the older brick cottages below it are showing their years too. Weathered mortar meeting old clay pantiles at an ageing stack is a combination we know well, and with our home patch right here in Holbeach, it is exactly the work we are placed for.

What people say
In their words, not ours
One of the problems of finding a roofer when you are an older person is the thought of being scammed, especially given the increasing numbers of rogue traders together with the high costs at stake especially if the work is poor or non existent. We trawled a lot of roofers and found varying prices and limited experience and ‘one man bands’ offering little or no guarantees for their work. We came across Fred’s newly formed EverCrest Property Care Ltd Company and were initially concerned at the limited 3 months or so that they had been trading for, albeit that Fred had been a Sole Trader for some 6 years. So we undertook a ‘due diligence’ on the company and found they had worked on a limited number of roofing projects in the start up time. However having had a number of positive conversations with Fred we decided to give his company a chance having had a very good response and price to our required specification that formed the basis of our Building Control Application through Boston Borough Council. They say you can only make a first impression once and EverCrest Property Care Ltd certainly made an excellent impression indeed, in fact the work they undertook was first class and our Building Control Inspector was equally impressed with the standard of works they carried out. Our project involved replacing a main roof on a detached property and likewise on a kitchen extension. Work commenced on a Friday with the scaffolding being erected along with the delivery of two skips. On the Monday morning around 8:30am a team of 7 arrived on site and by 10am both roofs had been stripped and the Building Inspector was called early to check out the structure prior to the roofers installing the new insulation, membrane and battening in readiness for the new soffits, guttering and tiles being installed from Tuesday onwards. By Thursday the project had been completed and the Building Inspector returned first thing Friday morning and signed off the work having been impressed with the finished work. On the basis of the above experience we would have no hesitation in recommending EverCrest Property Care Ltd as a suitable and very experienced roofing contractor and would be happy to give any references to their standard of works.
Brilliant work! Reasonable price a friendly. Recommend to anyone. Sorted out my roof after 3 companies turned me down.
Amazing roof repair everything finished to a high standard,good communication and reasonable priced would definetly recommend.

Chimney Repairs & Rebuilds in Holbeach: common questions
What will chimney repointing cost me?
No two stacks are in the same state, so the honest answer starts with a look. We come out, photograph the mortar joints so you can see them close up, and put the price in writing. What we quote is what you pay.
Can you take down a chimney we do not use?
Yes. Take-downs and removals are part of the service, and one Holbeach customer had a failing chimney taken down and rebuilt by us. If a stack has no future we will say so plainly.
The chimney looks sound but the ceiling near it is stained. Why?
More often than not that is the lead or the mortar at the joint between stack and roof, not the bricks. Soakers, step flashing, aprons and back gutters all age, and renewing them is often the whole cure.
Will I need scaffolding for chimney work?
Chimney work usually does need proper access, and arranging it is our job, not yours. You will be told when the scaffolding and materials are arriving before anything starts.
