Making painted chimney stacks maintenance free


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

 

We have two chimney stacks about 1.5m high. They have painted render panels.

We’re trying to make them maintenance free as we are doing away with painted render on the rest of our house, so are looking for ideas on how to achieve this.

 

Would it be feasible to remove the render without damaging the bricks underneath?

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Also I’ve noticed that the flaunching needs replacing.

It would be quite difficult not to damage the brick

If the render is original the bricks underneath may not match the facing bricks 


In which case it my be that the stacks will have to be re built.

The render on the rest of the first floor is being replaced with tile hanging. So leaving the chimneys as they are is not really an option
