A damp chimney isn’t fixed with one quick product or patch repair. It’s a system problem – and it needs a system solution.
From structural repairs at the top of the stack to airflow and moisture control, this is about doing it once and doing it properly.

Key Takeaways
• Damp prevention only works when structural repair, ventilation and water management are treated as one system.
• Tile creasing is a small detail with huge impact:
Stops rain tracking down brick faces
Reduces long-term saturation and decay
• Flexibility is critical:
Fibre-reinforced mortar and polymer sealants prevent cracking from movement and frost
• Breathability matters:
Waterproof coatings must still allow moisture to escape, or damp simply becomes trapped
• Ventilation prevents hidden moisture issues:
External air bricks reduce condensation caused by warm air drawn through the chimney
• Maintenance-ready design saves future cost:
Removable pots allow sweeping and repair without destruction
• Cutting corners guarantees failure:
Missing even one stage undermines the entire damp-proofing system
