Storm damage chimney repair, planned for Seven Isles
A cap bent but still attached
A cap can stay on the chimney and still be damaged. The hood may be bent down toward the flue, the screen torn or one leg pulled away from its fastening.
A cap bent close to the flue can restrict the flow of smoke, and a torn screen no longer stops sparks or animals. We judge whether the cap can be straightened and refastened or whether it should be replaced. The estimate says which and why. A cap that looks fine from the ground is checked all the same.
What your storm damage estimate lists
Your estimate lists each part of the chimney top we checked and what we found. Temporary work is listed separately from permanent repairs. Each item has its own price and a short reason written beside it.
It also notes anything we saw but could not confirm, and anything outside our work, such as the roof covering or interior finishes. You can approve the temporary work now and the permanent repairs later, or all at once. Nothing is started without your approval, and the estimate is free whether or not you go ahead.
How we reach the chimney top safely
We reach the chimney top with ladders and fall protection suited to the roof. On a roof damaged by the storm, the route to the chimney is chosen to avoid weak or broken areas.
Safe access is part of the job, not an extra that appears later on the bill. If a roof is too damaged to work from, we explain the options for reaching the chimney another way. We do not take risks that would put people or the roof at further risk, and we tell you if the roof itself needs attention before we can start.
Roof covering around the chimney
Wind can tear or lift shingles, tiles or other roof covering around a chimney. That damage lets water reach the roof deck even when the chimney itself came through the storm sound.
We note any roof covering damage near the chimney. Its repair belongs to your roofer, and we coordinate with them so the flashing goes on in the right order. Our estimate lists the chimney work and names the roof covering item, so it is not forgotten between the two trades. You then know who handles each part.
Wind damage items we price separately
- Flashing reset or replaced
- Loose top courses relaid
- Storm debris cleared from flue and firebox

Your storm damage questions in Seven Isles
Do you replace chimney caps torn off by the wind?
Yes. The new cap is sized to the flue and fastened to the manufacturer's instructions. If the old cap failed at its fasteners, we explain what will hold the new one more securely.
Does storm repair include clearing debris from the flue?
Clearing storm debris that blocks the flue, damper or smoke shelf is part of making the chimney safe to use. If the flue also needs a full sweep, that is listed as a separate service with its own price.
Can storm damage affect a chimney that vents a water heater?
Yes. A chimney can vent other appliances as well as a fireplace. If its top or flue was damaged, those appliances may not vent properly. Tell us what the chimney serves, and we check the flue that carries their exhaust.
