Chimney Stack Repairs & Rebuilds

A chimney stack takes the weather from every side, which makes it one of the most common sources of roof leaks. Crumbling mortar, cracked flaunching and tired lead flashing all let water into the brickwork. A chimney repair stops that water at the source, makes loose brickwork safe and protects the roof around the stack.

Steadfast repairs chimney stacks on homes and commercial buildings across Maidstone, Kent and South East London. Depending on the condition of the stack, the work can be repointing, new flaunching, replacement flashing or, where the brickwork has broken down badly, a partial or full rebuild.

Our free drone roof inspection helps assess the condition of your roof and identify potential issues, and you receive a free, no-obligation quote. Chimney work usually needs scaffolding, and old mortar and materials are cleared away when the stack is finished, leaving the site tidy.

When to Call Us

Signs You Need Chimney Repairs

  • Stained Chimney Breast

    Marks on walls or ceilings beside the chimney often point to failed flashing or porous stack brickwork.

  • Crumbling Mortar

    Pointing that has washed out or turned to sand weakens the stack and lets rain soak into the bricks.

  • Cracked Flaunching

    The mortar cap around the pots sheds water off the top of the stack, so cracks there lead straight into the flue.

  • A Leaning Stack

    A stack that has started to lean or has loose bricks is a safety risk and needs assessing without delay.

Pricing

Chimney Repair Costs

Every job is different, so we price from the inspection rather than guess over the phone. These are the things that move the figure.

FREE, No-Obligation Quotes. Your quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing, so you can make an informed decision about your property.

  1. Height & Scaffolding

    Taller buildings and stacks in awkward positions need more scaffolding to reach safely.

  2. Condition of the Brickwork

    Repointing a sound stack costs less than replacing bricks or rebuilding part of the chimney.

  3. Size of the Stack

    Wide stacks with several flues and pots involve more brickwork, flaunching and flashing.

  4. Flashing Requirements

    Replacing the lead around the stack adds materials and time compared with repairs to the masonry alone.

How It Works

Our Chimney Repair Process

  1. Surveying the Stack

    We assess the condition of the brickwork, pointing, flaunching, pots and flashing, then set out the work in a free, no-obligation quote.

  2. Scaffolding & Access

    Scaffolding is erected around the stack to give a safe working platform at roof level.

  3. Repairing the Brickwork

    Failed mortar is raked out and repointed, damaged bricks are replaced, and the stack is rebuilt where it is no longer sound.

  4. Sealing the Roof Junction

    New flaunching and lead flashing are fitted so water is shed off the stack and away from the roof.

FAQs

Chimney Repair FAQs

Why Is My Chimney Leaking?

The usual causes are failed lead flashing where the stack meets the roof, cracked flaunching around the pots and porous or badly pointed brickwork. Water can also enter through an open flue that has no cowl. Our free drone roof inspection can help identify potential issues like these.

Does My Chimney Need Rebuilding or Can It Be Repaired?

Most stacks can be repaired with repointing, new flaunching and replacement flashing. A rebuild is only needed when bricks have broken down, the stack is leaning or the mortar has failed throughout.

Can You Remove a Chimney Stack I No Longer Use?

Yes, a redundant stack can be taken down to below roof level and the roof made good with matching tiles or slates. Removing it also removes the upkeep it would otherwise need, but check first whether any internal breast below it needs support.

Is Scaffolding Needed to Repair a Chimney?

In almost every case, yes. Scaffolding gives a safe working platform around the stack, and where it is needed it is included in your quote.

How Often Should a Chimney Stack Be Repointed?

There is no fixed interval, as it depends on exposure and the original mortar. A stack in an exposed position weathers faster, so it is worth having it looked at whenever you see washed out joints or staining near the chimney breast.
