Chimney & Roof Repairs in Taunton

From crumbling mortar and leaning stacks to leaks and slipped tiles, we restore chimneys and roofs across Taunton and Somerset — quickly, affordably and to last.

A damaged chimney or roof rarely fixes itself — small problems spread, and water always finds a way in. High Spec Roofing carries out prompt, affordable repairs to both flat and tiled roofs, from a single slipped tile to a full chimney rebuild, always with an honest assessment first.

Every job begins with a clear inspection and a free, no-obligation quote, so you know exactly what needs doing and what it will cost before any work starts.

01Chimney

Chimney rebuilds & restructuring

Years of exposure to Somerset weather can leave a chimney leaning, cracked or structurally unsound. We rebuild and restructure deteriorating stacks to restore their strength and appearance, matching brick and stone so the repair sits naturally with your property.

  • Leaning & cracked stacks made safe
  • Brick & stone matched to the original
  • New flaunching & weatherproofing

02Brickwork

Chimney repointing

When the mortar between the bricks starts to crumble, water gets in and debris can fall. Repointing replaces the failed mortar, sealing the stack against the weather and protecting the brickwork — a small job that prevents far costlier damage later.

  • Crumbling, cracked mortar raked out
  • Colour-matched mortar mix
  • Stops water ingress before it spreads

03Ventilation

Cowl & vent installation

A well-fitted cowl keeps rain, birds and debris out of the flue while still letting it breathe, preventing damp and decay. We supply and fit the right cowl or vent for your chimney, whether it's in regular use or capped off.

  • Keeps out rain, birds & debris
  • Prevents damp & decay in the flue
  • Correct cowl for in-use or capped flues

Accredited & Certified

We sign our own work off

High Spec Roofing is NFRC, NFRC CPS and NFCP accredited. For re-roofing work covered by the scheme we self-certify Building Regulations compliance and sign the job off ourselves, so there's no separate building control sign-off for you to arrange. Planning permission is separate and rarely needed for a like-for-like re-roof; we'll check any listed-building or conservation-area requirements before we start.
