Chimney Repairs

Chimneys take the brunt of every weather storm and can develop crumbling mortar or failing lead flashings over time. We repair and repoint chimney stacks to prevent dampness and structural hazards.

Signs Your Chimney Needs Repair

Crumbling or powdery mortar joints between the bricks of your chimney stack. Damp patches on walls surrounding your fireplace or upper chimney breast. Loose or missing lead flashing where the chimney meets the roof tiles. Leaning chimney pots or cracked concrete chimney crowns.

Our Chimney Repair Process

We inspect the chimney stack from the roof to check brickwork, mortar, and pots. We rake out old, damaged mortar and repoint the brickwork with durable mortar mix. We replace deteriorated lead flashings and seal all potential water entry points. We clean up the site and leave your chimney completely safe and weather-sealed.

What to Expect

Most chimney repointing and flashing repairs take between 1 to 2 days.
