Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Get Clear, Honest Answers from a Roofing Team You Can Rely On
We understand that chimney issues can be confusing and even a bit daunting. You want to protect your home — and your wallet — but you also don’t want to be misled or pushed into work you don’t actually need. Here are the most common questions we’re asked by homeowners, answered with the same transparency and care we bring to every job.
How often should I have my chimney inspected?
Even if everything looks fine from ground level, we recommend having your chimney professionally inspected at least once every two years. Over time, weather exposure, frost, and general wear and tear can lead to cracks, loose mortar, or damaged lead flashings — issues that aren’t always visible to the untrained eye. If you’ve had recent storms or noticed any signs of damp, it’s wise to get it checked sooner rather than later.
What causes damp patches around my chimney breast or in the loft?
Damp or water stains around a chimney area are usually a sign that water is getting in somewhere — often through cracked brickwork, degraded mortar joints, or failed flashing where the chimney meets the roof. Poor ventilation can also play a part. It’s important not to ignore these signs. Our team can carry out a thorough assessment to pinpoint the exact cause and recommend the most effective (and affordable) fix.
Can the flashing be repaired on its own, or does the whole chimney need to be rebuilt?
In many cases, no — you don’t need a full rebuild. Damaged lead flashing is a common cause of leaks and can often be repaired or replaced without touching the rest of the chimney. We’ll always give you an honest assessment of what’s necessary and what isn’t. If the structure of the chimney is still sound, we’ll only focus on the area that needs attention, keeping disruption and costs to a minimum.
What exactly is repointing, and why is it important?
Repointing involves removing and replacing the old, crumbling mortar between bricks. Over time, the original pointing can wear away due to age and weather, allowing water to seep into the chimney. This can lead to internal damp, frost damage, and eventually structural instability. Repointing not only protects your chimney but also helps preserve the appearance of your roofline — especially important on older or character homes.
How long does chimney repair work usually take, and will it be disruptive?
Most minor to moderate repairs — such as repointing or flashing replacement — can usually be completed in a day. Larger jobs like partial rebuilds or full chimney stack removals might take two to three days, depending on access and weather conditions. We always aim to work efficiently and cleanly, with minimal disruption to your home life. Our team will keep you informed every step of the way and leave the site tidy when we’re done.
Is it better to repair or remove a chimney stack altogether?
That depends on the condition of the chimney and whether it’s still in use. If the chimney is no longer serving a purpose and is causing ongoing issues, removal can be a more cost-effective long-term solution. However, if the stack is structurally sound and only needs minor work, repair is usually the better route. We’ll talk you through both options and help you make a decision that’s right for your home and budget.
