Chimney Repairs in St Neots & Cambridgeshire

Common signs include water marks near the chimney breast, crumbling mortar, loose or spalling bricks, moss growth, gaps around the flashing or a chimney that looks cracked or leaning. If you notice any of these, it’s sensible to have your chimney inspected.

Repointing involves removing damaged mortar joints and replacing them with fresh mortar. This restores the strength of the chimney stack, helps to keep water out and prevents further deterioration of the brickwork.

Yes. Lead flashing around the chimney is there to stop water getting into your roof. If it cracks, lifts or is badly fitted, it can be a major source of leaks. We repair or replace chimney leadwork to create a watertight seal.

A leaning, heavily cracked or unstable chimney can be a safety risk if left unattended. It may shed bricks or debris in high winds and could eventually fail. We can assess the condition and recommend repairs, reinforcement or rebuilding where necessary.

Flaunching is the mortar that holds the chimney pots in place at the top of the stack. Over time it can crack and wash away, leaving pots loose and allowing water in. Repairing or renewing the flaunching keeps the pots secure and reduces the risk of leaks.

If a chimney is no longer in use, fitting the correct cap or cowl helps prevent rainwater, birds and debris from entering, while still allowing ventilation. We can advise on the right type of capping or vent for your property.

Yes. Many damp patches around chimney breasts are caused by defective pointing, damaged bricks or failed flashing. Repairing these issues stops moisture getting in and is an important step in resolving chimney-related damp problems.
