A weathered chimney is a common cause of leaks
Chimneys take a battering from the weather. Crumbling mortar, cracked flaunching and failed flashings are among the most common reasons water finds its way into a home.
Roofcraft repairs and rebuilds chimneys of all kinds, from a quick repoint to a full take-down and rebuild, and renews the leadwork that keeps them watertight.

Don't let a small crack become a big repair
Chimney problems rarely fix themselves. Water getting into open mortar joints freezes, expands and makes the damage worse each winter.
Catching it early with a repoint or new flashing is far cheaper than a full rebuild later. Our free inspection tells you exactly where your chimney stands.

What our customers say
Frequently asked questions
How do I know my chimney needs repointing?
Look for gaps or crumbling mortar between the bricks, loose pointing on the ground, or damp patches on chimney-breast walls inside. Our free inspection will confirm it.
Do you rebuild chimneys?
Yes. Where a stack is beyond repair we can take it down and rebuild it, reusing sound bricks and pots where possible and renewing the leadwork.
What is chimney flaunching?
Flaunching is the mortar 'crown' at the top of the stack that holds the pots in place and sheds rainwater. When it cracks, water gets in, re-flaunching restores that seal.
Should I remove an unused chimney?
Not necessarily. We can repair and cap a redundant stack to keep it weatherproof, or remove it and make good the roof, we'll talk you through both options.
