Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a chimney capping?

It seals the top of the chimney stack to prevent rain, snow, and debris from entering the structure and damaging the interior.

How do I know which size capping I need?

You should measure the external dimensions of your chimney stack, ensuring the capping provides a slight overhang to shed water away from the sides.

Do these cappings work with standard flue pots?

Yes, our cappings feature standard openings designed to accommodate common clay flue pots and chimney terminals.

What is the difference between concrete and stone capping?

Concrete is a cost-effective, high-strength option, while natural stone offers a premium finish and unique natural veining.

Does a chimney capping help prevent dampness?

Yes, by directing water away from the flue and stack masonry, it is a key part of preventing internal damp issues in the breast.

Do I need a professional to install a chimney capping?

Due to the weight of the products and the heights involved, we highly recommend a professional builder or roofer handles the installation.

Are the cappings reinforced?

Our larger concrete cappings are manufactured with internal reinforcement to ensure long-term structural integrity and safety.

Can I buy a capping for a double-flue chimney?

Yes, we stock various configurations including single and double flue openings to suit your specific stack requirements.

How do I maintain my chimney capping?
