Re-pointing, re-rendering, lead flashings, cowl installation, and structural repairs — keeping your chimney weathertight and sound.
Chimneys are one of the most exposed elements of any roof — they sit above the ridgeline, take the full force of wind-driven rain, and are subject to constant thermal cycling. They're one of the most common sources of water ingress we encounter.
Chimney issues almost always involve water ingress — either through failed lead flashings, crumbling mortar joints, or cracked render. Left unaddressed, these defects lead to internal damp, timber rot, and expensive roof repairs down the line. Read our guide on signs your roof needs replacing to understand when chimney problems indicate wider issues.
If your chimney serves a gas appliance, any work affecting the flue must be signed off by a Gas Safe registered engineer. We coordinate with Gas Safe professionals where needed.
Common questions about our chimney repair services.
Chimney repair costs depend on the extent of the work. Reflashing a chimney base typically costs £400–£800. Repointing a chimney stack ranges from £300–£600. A full chimney rebuild can cost £1,500–£3,000+. We provide detailed quotes after inspection.
Common signs include crumbling mortar joints, staining on internal walls near the chimney, loose or missing flaunching around pots, cracked render, and water ingress during heavy rain. Any of these warrant a professional inspection.
