About this service
A chimney stack sits above the roofline and takes the full force of wind, rain and frost. Over time the mortar joints weather out, the lead flashing perishes, and the flaunching holding the pots cracks and loosens. We inspect the chimney — using drone imagery where needed — and recommend the right level of repair, from repointing to a full rebuild.

Our process
We inspect the chimney with drone imagery or physical access, identify the defects, and recommend the right repair — repointing, flashing renewal, pot and flaunching repairs, or partial or full rebuilding where the stack is unsafe.
How we carry out the work
Our roofing team carries out the recommended works using quality mortar and lead, making the stack weathertight and safe. Waste is removed and the site left clean.
Drainage considerations
We check the chimney back gutter and soakers as part of the repair so water is channelled safely away from the stack, not behind it.
Edging and finishing
Lead step and cover flashings are dressed neatly against the stack and the roof covering to form a weathertight, tidy junction.
Maintenance information
After a chimney repair we advise on what to watch for — loose pots, crumbling mortar, flashing gaps — and recommend a periodic check, especially after storms.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my chimney needs repointing?
If the mortar joints are crumbling, recessed or falling out, or vegetation is growing in the stack, repointing is likely needed. We inspect and advise.
Can you remove a chimney stack?
Yes. Where a chimney is redundant, unsafe or beyond economical repair, we can remove the stack above the roofline and make the roof weathertight, or rebuild it where appropriate.
