Frequently Asked Questions About Chimney Services
What chimney repairs do you carry out?
We carry out a range of external chimney repairs, including repairs to damaged brickwork, deteriorated mortar joints, chimney pots, lead flashing and other weather-damaged areas. We first inspect the chimney to identify the cause and extent of the problem.
How do I know if my chimney needs repairing?
Common signs include cracked or crumbling mortar, loose bricks, damaged chimney pots, deteriorated flashing, damp around the chimney breast or visible movement in the chimney stack. An inspection can help identify whether repairs are required.
Can a damaged chimney cause a roof leak?
Yes. Water can enter around damaged chimney flashing, deteriorated mortar joints or cracks in the chimney structure. Because leaks around chimneys can have several possible causes, the area should be inspected before repairs are carried out.
Can chimney pointing be repaired?
Yes. If the mortar joints between the bricks have deteriorated, the chimney can often be re-pointed. Damaged mortar is removed and replaced with suitable new mortar to help protect the masonry from further weather exposure.
Can damaged lead flashing around a chimney be repaired?
Yes. Lead flashing around a chimney can often be repaired or replaced if it has become cracked, loose or deteriorated. Correctly installed flashing helps create a weather-resistant junction between the chimney and roof covering.
Can individual chimney bricks be replaced?
Yes. Where damage is localised, individual bricks can often be carefully removed and replaced. The surrounding masonry and mortar should also be inspected to make sure there are no wider problems.
What happens if a chimney is left in poor condition?
Loose masonry, deteriorated pointing and damaged flashing can worsen over time and may increase the risk of water ingress or falling materials. Addressing problems early can help prevent more extensive repairs later.
Can an unused chimney still need maintenance?
Yes. Even if a chimney is no longer used for a fireplace or stove, the external stack remains exposed to the weather. Brickwork, mortar, flashing, pots and other components should still be kept in good condition.
How much does chimney repair cost?
The cost depends on the type and extent of the damage, the height and accessibility of the chimney, materials required and whether scaffolding is needed. A property survey allows us to assess the chimney and provide an accurate quotation.
