Weatherproof Your Stack

Renewing Failed Mortar Joints

Your chimney sits at the most exposed point of the whole roof, and over the years the mortar between the bricks takes a battering from wind, rain and frost. When those joints crumble and wash out, water finds its way straight into the stack, and the first you often see of it is damp creeping down the chimney breast inside the house.

Chimney repointing puts that right. We carefully rake out the old, failed mortar back to a sound depth and refill the joints with a fresh, weatherproof mix matched to your existing brickwork. The stack is left solid, watertight and looking the part, without the cost and upheaval of a full rebuild.

  • Old, failed mortar raked out to a sound depth
  • Fresh mortar mix matched to your brickwork
  • Stops water getting in and tackles damp at source
  • Tidy work, fixed price, 15-year guarantee

Why Repoint

A Lasting Fix, Done Properly

Stops Damp at Source

We close the gaps that let water in, so the wet patches on your chimney breast can finally dry out.

Mortar Matched In

We blend the new mortar to suit your brickwork, so the repaired stack looks right, not patched.

Cheaper Than a Rebuild

Catch failing joints early and repointing avoids the far bigger job of taking the stack down and rebuilding it.

Fully Guaranteed

Every job is backed by our 15-year insurance-backed guarantee for complete peace of mind.

Chimney Repointing FAQs

Common Questions

How do I know if my chimney needs repointing?
Tell-tale signs are crumbling or missing mortar between the bricks, sandy debris in the gutter, and damp appearing on the chimney breast inside. A free survey, often by drone, confirms whether repointing is needed.
How long does chimney repointing last?
Properly raked out and repointed with the correct mortar, the work should last for decades. We match the mortar to the existing brickwork so the stack stays weatherproof and looks right.
Will repointing stop damp on my chimney breast?
In most cases, yes. Damp on the chimney breast is often caused by water getting in through failed joints. Renewing the pointing, and the flashing if needed, sheds water away from the stack and dries the wall out.
