Chimney Roofing Work

Chimneys are one of the most common roof leak points. We repair damaged masonry, worn pointing and surrounding roof details.

Chimney Repair Specialists

A damaged chimney can quickly become a roof leak.

Chimneys sit in one of the most exposed areas of the roof. They face wind, rain, frost and constant temperature changes, which means brickwork, mortar, flashing and surrounding roof materials can deteriorate over time.

Home Roofing Company provides chimney repair services designed to deal with the source of the issue, not just the visible symptom. We inspect the chimney stack, check the condition of the pointing, look at the leadwork and assess the surrounding tiles or roof surface before recommending the best repair.

Common Chimney Problems

Signs your chimney needs attention.

Chimney issues can cause damp, roof leaks and structural problems if ignored. Early repair work can help prevent wider damage.

01

Damaged Pointing

Weathered or missing mortar can allow water to penetrate the chimney stack.

02

Leaking Flashing

Failed leadwork around the chimney can allow water to enter where the roof meets the stack.

03

Cracked Brickwork

Cracked or spalled bricks can worsen during frost and heavy rain.

04

Damp Patches

Damp around chimney breasts or ceilings can point to chimney or flashing failure.

Check The Leadwork

We inspect the flashing and surrounding roof junctions for possible leaks.

Chimney FAQs

Chimney repair questions answered.

How do I know if my chimney needs repairing?

Cracked mortar, loose bricks, leaking ceilings around the chimney breast, damaged flashing and visible movement are all signs that your chimney should be inspected.

Can damaged chimney flashing cause roof leaks?

Yes. Lead flashing seals the joint between the roof and chimney. If it fails, water can enter the roof structure.

Do you carry out chimney repointing?

Yes. We remove failing mortar and repoint chimney stacks where appropriate to help restore weather protection.

Can you repair storm damaged chimneys?

Yes. We inspect chimney stacks after storms and can repair damaged brickwork, ridge connections, flashing and pointing.
