Got a dodgy chimney? You're not alone! Chimneys take a beating from the Kent weather. At Century Roofing and Building, we're chimney repair experts, and we understand you've got questions. Here are some of the most common queries we get from homeowners like you:

Think of your chimney as the lungs of your home. It safely vents smoke and fumes from your fireplace or heating system. If it's cracked, blocked, or damaged, those nasties can seep back into your house – carbon monoxide poisoning is a real risk, and we don't want that! A well-maintained chimney also prevents chimney fires caused by creosote build-up and protects your property from water damage caused by leaks.

If you burn wood regularly – say, more than a couple of times a week during the colder months – we recommend a chimney sweep every year. For occasional use, every other year should suffice. Oil and gas flues should also be inspected annually for safety, even if they don't require sweeping as frequently. Regular sweeping removes soot and creosote, keeping your chimney and your family safe.

We offer a full range of chimney repair services to keep your chimney in tip-top shape:

• Chimney Sweeping: Removing soot, creosote, and debris.
• Chimney Repointing: Replacing damaged mortar joints.
