Chimney repairs

Why chimneys need attention

Chimneys are the most exposed brickwork on any building. Wind, rain and frost attack the mortar, while flue gases can weaken bricks from inside. A neglected chimney can let water into your loft, damage your roof and, in the worst cases, become unstable.

Signs your chimney needs work

Crumbling or missing mortar
A leaning or bowed chimney stack
Cracked flaunching around the pots
Damp patches on ceilings or chimney breasts
Loose or damaged chimney pots
Bits of brick or mortar in the gutter or garden

FAQs

Chimney FAQs

Do I need scaffolding?

In almost all cases, yes. It’s the safest way to work on a chimney and we include it in our quote.

Should I repair or rebuild my chimney?

If the bricks are sound, repointing and repairs are often enough. If the stack is leaning or the bricks are badly damaged, a rebuild is the safer long-term option. We’ll give you an honest recommendation.

Can you remove a chimney I no longer use?

Yes. We can take down redundant stacks and make good the roof.
