Crown

The masonry top, and the single most common recurring bill on an older chimney.

What is Crown?

The sloped cap shedding water off the chimney. Once it cracks, the usual pattern is sealing it every year or two indefinitely — which is a repair being paid for in instalments. An integrated crown-cap unit ends that cycle, and across ten years it normally works out cheaper than the sealing.
