Chimney Repointing & Leadwork
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of the house. Mortar joints erode, the flaunching on top cracks, and the lead where the stack meets the roof lifts or splits. Each of these lets water in, and a chimney leak often shows on a ceiling or bedroom wall nearby.
Repointing replaces the worn mortar between the bricks so the stack sheds rain again. New lead flashings are dressed around the base and stepped into the brickwork, sealing the joint with the roof. Flaunching is renewed where needed, and cowls can be fitted to keep rain and birds out of unused flues.
The stack is checked from top to bottom before anything is quoted, and where more is needed, such as rebuilding the top courses, you are told plainly why. You get a FREE, no-obligation quotation, and the area around the chimney is left clean and tidy.

Signs Your Chimney Needs Repair
Damp Near the Chimney
Damp patches on the ceiling or chimney breast after rain usually point to failed flashing or worn pointing.
Crumbling Mortar
Mortar that has eroded or fallen out between the bricks lets rain soak into the stack and weakens it over time.
Lifted Lead Flashing
Lead that has pulled away from the brickwork, split or slipped lets water run straight down into the roof.
Cracked Flaunching
The mortar collar around the pots cracks with age and frost, letting water into the top of the chimney stack.

What Affects Chimney Repair Costs
Every roof is different, so the price is worked out once the roof has been looked at rather than guessed over the phone. These are the things that move it.
FREE, No-Obligation Quotations
Every roof is looked at before it is priced, so the figure you get is the figure for your job. Your quotation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Size & Height of the Stack
Taller and wider stacks have more brickwork to repoint and need more access equipment to reach safely.
Extent of the Repairs
Renewing a flashing costs less than repointing the whole stack, and rebuilding the top costs more.
Amount of Lead Needed
The amount of new lead depends on the size of the stack and where it sits on the roof slope or the ridge.
Scaffold or Roof Ladder
Some chimneys can be reached safely with roof ladders, while others need scaffold built around the stack.
