Chimney Repointing in Kent
Chimney repointing restores the mortar joints that hold a chimney stack together and keep it weathertight. Pro Guard Roofing Specialists Ltd repoints chimney stacks throughout Kent, raking out crumbling mortar and repointing with a durable mix to protect the brickwork and stop water ingress.
About this service
The mortar between chimney bricks weathers faster than the bricks themselves because the stack is fully exposed above the roofline. As joints recess and crumble, water penetrates the stack, freezes in winter and loosens the brickwork. Repointing rakes out the degraded mortar and replaces it with a fresh, durable mortar mix, restoring the stack's strength and weathertightness.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know my chimney needs repointing?
If the mortar joints are crumbling, recessed or you can see vegetation growing in the stack, repointing is likely needed. We inspect the chimney — using a drone where helpful — and advise.
Can you repoint without scaffolding?
Safe access is essential for chimney repointing, so scaffolding or a fixed access system is normally required. We include safe access in the quotation.
