The problem

Common chimney repair problems

Chimneys sit in the worst weather on the roof. Small defects quickly become leaks, loose pots and unsafe stacks.

  • Loose or missing pots and flaunching
  • Open mortar joints or spalled brick on the stack
  • Leaning chimney or visible movement
  • Damp or staining around the fireplace or roof junction

FAQ

Common questions

Can you rebuild part of a chimney stack?

Yes. Localised rebuilds are common when only the upper courses or one elevation has failed.

Should I repair or remove an unused chimney?

We can advise on-site. Proper sealing is often better than leaving a failing stack in place.

Do you repair indoor fireboxes too?

Yes. We can repair fireboxes and hearths when the indoor work needs the same care as the stack outside.
