Chimney Repairs
Chimney Stack Repairs and Rebuilds across Greater London
Chimneys take more weather than any other part of the roof. Mortar joints wash out, the flaunching around the pots cracks, and lead flashing at the base can split or pull away from the brickwork. Each of these lets rain into the stack, and from there into the loft, the chimney breast or the rooms below. On older London houses, a leaning or loose stack can also become a safety risk to the roof and to anyone underneath it.
Ashlar Roofing carries out the full range of chimney repairs, from repointing and new flaunching to fitting pots and cowls and renewing lead flashing. Where a stack above the roofline is unsafe, it can be taken down and rebuilt. If a chimney is no longer in use, we can fit a ventilated cap so rain stays out while air still moves through the flue, which helps stop damp from building up inside the chimney breast.

What Affects the Cost of Chimney Repairs
The cost of chimney work depends on:

- The height and condition of the chimney
- Whether the job is repointing, flaunching or a full rebuild
- How much lead flashing needs replacing
- The number of pots, cowls or caps required
The work
How We Carry Out Chimney Repairs
The main stages of the job, from the first inspection to the final check.
Inspect the Stack
We look at the brickwork, mortar, flaunching, pots and flashing, and trace where water is getting in. Photos sent beforehand help us plan access.
Arrange Safe Access
Scaffolding or a suitable platform is set up so the chimney can be worked on safely from every side.
Carry Out the Repairs
Joints are raked out and repointed, flaunching and pots renewed, and flashing replaced or the stack rebuilt, in line with the agreed scope.
Check the Surrounding Roof
Tiles around the stack are checked for disturbance, and we confirm with you that all the agreed work is complete.
