Crown repair that starts with an assessment

Crowns that surround more than one flue

Some chimneys carry several flues through one crown. Each liner needs its own sealed joint, and the crown must slope away from all of them. The spaces between flues are where water tends to sit if the shape is wrong.

We check each flue opening in turn and note which ones are in use. If an appliance vents into one of the flues, the work is planned so that flue stays open and working. Tell us about every appliance connected to the chimney when you book, so nothing is missed.

Using the fireplace during and after crown work

A fire sends heat and gases up past a crown that may still be curing. For that reason, fireplace use is usually paused while crown work is in progress. The waiting time afterwards depends on the material used and the weather during curing.

We give you written instructions at the end of the job. They say when the fireplace can be used and what to watch for. If an appliance other than the fireplace vents into the chimney, tell us before we start so its flue stays clear throughout.

Crown repair does not include flue cleaning

Crown work happens on the outside of the chimney top. It does not clean soot or deposits from the flue, and it does not assess the inside of the fireplace. Those belong to sweeping and inspection services.

If you want both done, tell us when you book. You may prefer the flue swept before the crown work, so the chimney is clean when the top is sealed. We explain whether the order matters for your chimney and price each service on its own line.

Crowns on chimneys built of concrete block

Some masonry chimneys are built of concrete block rather than brick, sometimes finished with stucco. The crown's job is the same. The code expects hollow units in a chimney wall to be grouted solid, so the top should be solid enough to carry the crown.

We check the top of the wall when the crown is removed. If hollow cells are open under the old crown, water may have been draining straight into them. We explain how the new crown is bedded so it sits on solid material and sheds water outward.

Answers about chimney crown work

How does the inspection discount apply to crown repair?

Approve crown work in the 72 hours after your free inspection and a 10% discount applies to it. The window runs from your own inspection, and it covers any service on the estimate you book in that time.

Can I coat the crown myself with a product from the store?

A crown coating only works on firm, clean and dry concrete, and it cannot hold loose pieces together. Roof work also carries real risk. If you are considering it, ask us first whether your crown is a suitable surface for any coating.

Should I ask about the crown if the fireplace is never used?

Yes. The crown keeps rain out of the masonry whether or not you light fires. Water entering an unused chimney can still damage brick, the flue and nearby ceilings. A free inspection tells you whether the top needs attention.
