- Open or crumbling mortar joints on the stack
- Loose, cracked or spalled bricks
- Damaged flaunching around the chimney pots
- Damp staining near a chimney breast or roof junction
- Visible gaps, splits or lifting at lead flashings

Questions about chimney work
What customers usually ask.
Can a chimney be repaired without rebuilding it?
Often, local brick replacement, repointing, flaunching or leadwork may be enough. Rebuilding is considered when deterioration, movement or instability is more extensive.
Does chimney damp always mean the flashing has failed?
No. Water can enter through mortar joints, bricks, flaunching, pots, flashings or adjacent roof coverings. The full exposed detail should be considered.
Can you repoint a chimney at the same time as roof repairs?
Yes, where the access and scope allow the masonry and roof interfaces to be coordinated.
Will scaffolding be needed?
Safe access depends on chimney height, roof pitch, position and the work required. The access method is confirmed after the property is assessed.
