Chimney Repairs

Keep the stack sound and the water out

A chimney sits higher and more exposed than the rest of the roof, so its mortar, flashings and flaunching weather faster. Failing pointing lets water into the stack, cracked flashings leak into the roof below, and a loose pot or crumbling brickwork can become a safety issue.

We repoint and rebuild chimney brickwork, renew the lead flashings that seal it to the roof, re-bed pots and renew the flaunching. Where a chimney is no longer used we can cap it to keep the weather out while letting it breathe, or take it down and make the roof good. Whatever the stack needs, we leave it sound and dry.

Common questions

Chimney Repairs questions

Why is damp appearing around my chimney breast?

It usually points to failed flashings or open pointing on the stack letting water in. Renewing them stops the damp at source.

Should I cap an unused chimney?

Capping a redundant chimney keeps rain out while still letting it ventilate, which prevents damp. We fit a vented cap so the flue can still breathe.

Can you remove a chimney we no longer use?

Yes. We can take the stack down to roof level or below and make the roof good and watertight where it stood.

Do I need to rebuild the whole chimney?

Not usually. Often repointing, new flaunching or fresh flashings is enough. We only recommend a rebuild where the brickwork is genuinely unsafe, and we explain why.

Can you remove a chimney we no longer use?

Yes. We can take the stack down to roof level or below and make the roof watertight where it stood.
