A rebuild contractor that sets the boundary first
Setting clay flue tiles as the courses rise
When clay flue tiles line the rebuilt section, they go in as the brickwork rises. The brick industry's chimney guidance describes setting the tiles a section ahead of the brick, bedding them in mortar and smoothing the joints on the inside.
Smooth inside joints help the flue draw cleanly and make cleaning easier. The tiles are checked for cracks before they go in, since a cracked tile hidden inside new brick is hard to reach later. We describe how the tiles will be set on the estimate.
Metal parts that resist corrosion
A rebuild brings together several metal parts: ties, flashing, the cap and its fasteners. The brick industry's guidance calls for corrosion-resistant metals in flashing and caps, since replacing them later means disturbing the new masonry.
We choose metals for each part and name them on the estimate. Metals that will touch each other are chosen to sit well together, or separated. That keeps a sound rebuild from being let down by a rusting part years later. Where you have a preference, such as copper for appearance, tell us and we explain how it would work with the other metals.
The open top covered each evening
A chimney that is partly taken down is open to the weather. At the end of each work day, we cover the open top so rain and debris cannot get into the flue or the house overnight.
The cover stays in place during any weather break and is checked when work resumes. If the job has to pause for longer, the protection is made secure for that period. An open chimney is not left uncovered overnight or through a pause in the job.
Calling about a failing chimney in Wilton Manors
When you call about a chimney in Wilton Manors that may need rebuilding, we ask what you have seen and whether anything has fallen. We also ask whether the fireplace is in use and what vents into the chimney.
If masonry is coming loose over a door or path, we treat it as urgent and may suggest the 24/7 emergency line. Otherwise, we book the free inspection. Nothing you tell us on the call commits you to a rebuild. We also ask about access, pets and any planned roof work.

Questions about chimney rebuilding
Can a chimney that has moved away from the house be rebuilt?
Often, but the reason it moved has to be understood first. We look at the base, the attachment and the crack pattern, and we explain what should be assessed before a rebuild is priced.
What should I have ready before the rebuild visit in Wilton Manors?
A way into the room with the fireplace, a route to the part of the yard under the chimney and, if possible, attic access. Records of earlier repairs and any roof plans help us set the boundary and the order of work.
Will a rebuild change how my fireplace draws?
It should not make it worse. The rebuilt flue is kept to a size that suits the fireplace, and the top follows the code's height rule. If draft was a problem before, we explain what the rebuild can and cannot change.
