Chimney Repointing & Repairs

Chimney Repointing, Repairs and Rebuilds

Chimney repointing and repair keeps a stack weathertight by renewing washed-out mortar joints, cracked flaunching and loose pots before rain soaks through the masonry into the rooms below. It is the right call when mortar is collecting in the guttering or damp shows on a chimney breast, and where a stack leans or has been cracked by frost, rebuilding or removal may suit better.

Mortar matched to the existing brick or stone
Sloped flaunching renewed to shed water off the top
Cowls to keep rain and birds out, or to cap unused flues
Lead flashing at the roof line checked and renewed if split

Why Choose Us

Why Choose Us for Chimney Repointing & Repairs

Chimney Repointing & Repairs work by Revive Roofing & Repairs

Over 20 years

A family run company with over 20 years' experience

You deal directly with the family that runs the business, from the free survey to the final review of the completed work.

Insured for work at height

Chimney work means scaffold and working well above the roof line, and because we are fully insured the risk of that work rests with us, not you.

Mortar suited to the stack

Joints are raked out and refilled with a mortar chosen for your brick or stone, so the repointing weathers in with the rest of the stack.

Repair, rebuild or remove

You get a straight view on whether a stack can be repointed, needs rebuilding or would be better taken down, rather than being steered to the larger job.

Familiar with older stacks

Over 20 years' experience in home improvements covers the brick and stone stacks on older houses, from resetting pots to renewing lead flashing at the base.

When To Call Us

Signs You Need Chimney Repointing & Repairs

The signs homeowners most often notice before they contact us about this work.

Crumbling mortar joints

Gaps between the bricks or stones, or mortar lying on the roof below the stack, show the pointing has washed out.

Damp on a chimney breast

Marks spreading around a fireplace, or damp timber next to the stack in your loft, usually start with water getting in up top.

Cracked flaunching or loose pots

The cement around the pots cracks with frost, and a pot that rocks in the wind needs securing before it falls.

A leaning or unused stack

A stack visibly out of plumb needs rebuilding, and one serving no fireplaces can often be taken down instead.

Pricing

Chimney Repointing & Repairs Costs

Every roof is different, so we price yours after a free survey. These are the factors that move the figure most for this kind of work.

0800 158 8508

Height and access

A tall stack on a steep or high roof needs more scaffold than a short stack on a single-storey extension.

Size and condition

A large shared stack with several flues has far more joints to repoint than a small single-flue chimney.

Repair or rebuild

Repointing costs less than taking a stack down and rebuilding it, which needs new brick or stone and more days on site.

Pots, cowls and flashing

Each replacement pot or cowl adds to the materials, as does renewing lead flashing around the base of the stack.

How It Works

How Our Chimney Repointing & Repairs Service Works

Step 1

Inspecting the stack

We look at the stack up close, checking the pointing, flaunching, pots and flashing, then quote for the work it actually needs.

Step 2

Safe access

Scaffold is put up around the stack so every face can be reached safely, with boards keeping weight off the tiles or slates around it.

Step 3

Repairing the masonry

Failed joints are raked out and repointed, flaunching renewed and pots reset or replaced, or the stack is taken down and rebuilt where it is unsafe.

Step 4

Weatherproofing and clearing

Cowls are fitted where needed, the flashing at the roof line is checked or renewed, and rubble is cleared from the roof and guttering. Finally, we review the completed work with you on site, so that together we can confirm everything has been done as agreed.

FAQs

Chimney Repointing & Repairs FAQs

How do I know my chimney needs repointing?

Common signs are bits of mortar collecting in the guttering or on the roof below the stack, damp patches on a chimney breast or in the loft next to the stack, and pots that move in the wind. We assess the pointing up close before we quote.

Should I repair or remove a chimney I no longer use?

If the flues serve no fires or boilers, taking the stack down below roof level removes a source of damp and future upkeep. Where the stack adds to the look of the street, or a neighbour shares it, repairing and capping it can make more sense. We explain both options and what each involves before you decide.

How long do chimney repairs take?

Once the scaffold is in place, repointing a typical stack and renewing its flaunching usually takes a day or two. Rebuilding a stack takes longer, as the old masonry comes down by hand and the new work needs time to set. Mortar should not be laid in heavy rain or frost, so weather can affect timing.

What affects the cost of chimney work?

Access is a large part of it, since most stacks need scaffold. Beyond that, stack size, the amount of failed pointing, whether pots, cowls or flashing need replacing, and the choice between repair and rebuild all count.

How do I get a chimney repair quote?

Phone us or send the quote form, noting the signs you have noticed, such as loose pots, missing mortar or damp inside. We come and look at the stack, and the survey and quote are free. The quote covers the repair, rebuild or removal the stack actually needs.
