Chimney Repairs
Chimney stacks bear the brunt of London weather and can become unstable over time. We specialize in all aspects of brickwork, chimney repointing, lead flashing renewal, and complete stack rebuilding or removal.
When You Need Chimney Repairs
Cracked or crumbling mortar joints between chimney bricks. Leaking around the base of the chimney stack into your upstairs rooms. Leaning or unstable chimney pots and loose brickwork. Damp patches on interior walls directly adjacent to the chimney breast.
How We Do It
We erect safe working scaffolding around the chimney stack. We rake out damaged mortar and replace spalled or broken bricks. We repoint joints cleanly and install new lead flashing aprons and step flashings. We cap or cowl unused flues to prevent rain entry and nesting birds.
What to Expect
Standard chimney repointing and flashing repairs typically take 1 to 2 days; full rebuilds take 2 to 4 days.
