About Bristol
Bristol was settled in 1681, and many historic and restored houses line Radcliffe and Mill streets.
Housing built around the World War I shipyards formed the Harriman section, and most of it is still lived in today.
Bristol was the Bucks County seat until 1725.
Bristol includes the historic districts Harriman Historic District, Jefferson Land Association Historic District, Bristol Historic District, Bristol Industrial Historic District. Older brick chimneys there often need matched brick and mortar, so we look at the house before we plan the work.
What This Means for Your Bristol Chimney
Winters are hard on masonry
Cold winters with many freeze and thaw cycles work water into brick and mortar every year. Keep the chimney swept and inspected once a year, keep a cap on top, and fix small cracks before they spread. Read: How Often Should a Chimney Be Swept?

Half of the homes in Bristol were built in 1939 or earlier, and 53.4% date from before 1940, so many chimneys here still run on original clay tile or unlined brick, and mortar joints that old need repointing on a schedule. With about 120 freezing nights a year in Bucks County, water that gets into a crack freezes and widens it again and again, which is why we check the crown and flashing on every visit.
