Common Chimney Problems We Repair
Chimneys are exposed to rain, frost, and wind all year round, so mortar joints and brickwork can wear away over time. Once gaps open up, water can enter the structure and start causing damp, internal staining, and damage around the roofline.
Cracked or missing chimney mortar
When mortar joints break down, water can pass into the chimney stack and start causing internal damp problems.
Chimney leaking during heavy rain
Water entering around the chimney is often caused by worn joints, damaged flashing, or failed pointing at the top of the stack.
Loose chimney brickwork
Loose bricks can become a safety issue if left alone and may lead to more serious repair work later.
Damaged chimney flashing
Lead flashing around the stack can split, lift, or wear away, allowing rainwater into the roof structure.
Leaning or unstable chimney stacks
Severely worn mortar can weaken the whole stack and may call for repointing, partial rebuilding, or full rebuilding.

FAQs
Straight answers to the questions we get asked most often.
How much does chimney repointing cost?
Most full chimney repointing jobs fall between £500 and £900. Smaller localised repairs can be £250 to £450. The final price depends on access, stack size, and the condition of the chimney.
How long does chimney repointing take?
Smaller repairs are often completed within a day. A full repoint usually takes one to two days. Rebuilds and more complex leadwork repairs can take longer.
Will I need scaffolding?
Not always. Lower and easier-to-reach stacks may be workable from ladders or a mobile platform. Taller or awkward chimneys usually need scaffold for safe access.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. We provide a written workmanship guarantee on chimney repairs. The exact cover is confirmed on the quote and depends on the type of work being carried out.
Can repointing stop a chimney leak?
Often yes, but not every leak is caused by pointing alone. We check mortar joints, lead flashing, and the top of the stack so the repair deals with the real cause.
