A leaking chimney is a common problem, and it can cause real damage inside your home. Often, the culprit is failed lead flashing, cracked mortar joints allowing water in, or issues with the chimney pot or capping. We will find exactly where the water is getting in and provide a solid repair. Stopping that leak quickly is important to protect your loft and ceilings from damp and rot.

The cost of chimney repair varies quite a bit, depending on the damage and what materials we need. A small repointing job will naturally cost less than a full chimney rebuild. The best way to get an accurate figure is to have us visit for a proper look. We offer free, no-obligation quotes, so you will know exactly what to expect, with no hidden costs.

Chimney repointing involves replacing old, worn-out mortar between the bricks with fresh mortar. You will need it if the existing mortar is crumbling, cracked, or falling out, as this lets water in and weakens the stack. If the bricks themselves are badly damaged, or the chimney is leaning or unstable, then a more extensive repair or even a partial rebuild might be the safer option. We will always advise on the most effective solution for your chimney's condition.

Absolutely! We can install various types of chimney cowls or caps. These stop birds nesting inside, keep out rain, and prevent debris from falling down, all while still allowing the chimney to ventilate properly. It is a simple, effective way to protect your chimney and prevent blockages.

A complete chimney rebuild is usually needed when the stack has severe structural damage, for example, if it is leaning dangerously, has extensive frost damage, or the bricks are beyond repair. Safety is always our top concern. If the chimney is too unstable to simply repair, a rebuild makes sure it is structurally sound and safe for many decades to come.

Chimney flashing is the weatherproof seal, often made of lead, that sits where your chimney meets the roof. Its job is to stop water from running down the chimney stack and getting into your roof space and home. If your flashing is cracked, lifted, or perished, it is a common cause of leaks. We are experts in repairing and replacing lead flashing to create a watertight seal.
