Chimney Stack Repairs

A chimney stands exposed above the roof in all weather, so its mortar joints, crown and flashings are among the first parts of a house to wear. Crumbling mortar lets water into the brickwork, and failed flashings let it run straight down into the loft and the rooms below.

We repoint chimney stacks, rebuild sections where the brickwork has become loose or unsafe, and renew the mortar crown around the pots. The lead flashings where the stack meets the roof are renewed or repaired so the joint stays watertight.

Chimney repairs are carried out on homes and commercial buildings across Hampshire, with a free quote explaining what the stack needs before any work begins.

When to Call Us

Signs Your Chimney Needs Repair

  • Crumbling Mortar

    Joints that are hollow, cracked or washing out let rain soak into the stack and loosen the bricks.

  • Damp by the Chimney

    Damp patches on walls or ceilings near the chimney breast often trace back to the stack or its flashing.

  • Cracked Crown

    A split or broken mortar crown around the pots lets water straight into the top of the stack.

  • Lifted Lead Flashing

    Flashing that has slipped, cracked or pulled away leaves a gap where the chimney meets the roof.

What Affects the Price

Chimney Repair Prices

Every roof is different, so prices come from an inspection, not a guess over the phone. These are what set the final figure.

Free, No-Obligation Quotes. Your quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing, so you can decide in your own time.

  1. Height of the Stack

    Tall chimneys and those on high roofs need more access equipment to reach safely.

  2. Repoint or Rebuild

    Repointing costs less than taking down and rebuilding loose brickwork.

  3. Lead Work Needed

    Renewing flashings around the stack adds to the job but is often what stops the leak.

  4. Condition of the Bricks

    Spalled or broken bricks may need replacing as the chimney is repaired.

FAQs

Chimney Repair Questions Answered

Why Is My Chimney Letting Water In?

The usual causes are crumbling mortar joints, a cracked crown around the pots or lead flashing that has lifted where the chimney meets the roof. An inspection finds which is to blame.

Does My Chimney Need Repointing or Rebuilding?

If the bricks are sound and only the mortar has worn, repointing is usually enough. If the brickwork is loose, leaning or badly damaged, rebuilding that section is the safer repair.

Do You Replace Lead Flashing Around Chimneys?

Yes. Lead flashings are renewed or repaired where the chimney meets the roof, so the joint stays watertight.

Can You Repair the Roof Around the Chimney at the Same Time?

Yes. As a roofer, any tiles, slates or lead work around the stack are made good as part of the same job.

Is a Chimney Repair Quote Free?

Yes. Your quote is free and comes with no obligation.
