Chimney Repairs

Chimneys take the brunt of all weather conditions and often develop leaks around the base flashings or crumbling mortar joints. We repoint brickwork, replace lead flashings, and rebuild damaged stacks.

When You Need Chimney Repairs

Damp patches appearing on walls directly around your chimney breast indoors. Crumbling mortar or loose bricks falling from the chimney stack. Damaged or missing lead flashing where the chimney meets the roof tiles. A leaning or unstable chimney stack.

How We Do It

We inspect the exterior stack, mortar condition, and lead flashings from scaffolding or roof access. We rake out damaged mortar joints and repoint with durable, weather-resistant mix. We replace failed lead step and apron flashings to ensure a waterproof seal. We cap or re-flaunch the chimney top to prevent future water penetration.

What to Expect

Most standard chimney repointing or flashing repairs are completed within 1 to 2 days.
