Chimney Flaunching Repairs
Over time, mortar joints can become cracked, loose or washed out due to weather exposure.
We rake out defective mortar and repoint chimney brickwork using suitable materials to restore strength, improve appearance and help protect against water ingress.
Our chimney repointing service is ideal for:
-
Cracked mortar joints
-
Loose brickwork
-
Weather-damaged chimneys
-
Leaking chimney stacks
-
Older properties
-
Preventative maintenance
Proper repointing helps extend the life of your chimney and prevents more serious structural issues developing.
Failed leadwork is one of the most common causes of chimney leaks.
We repair and replace:
-
Lead flashings
-
Step flashings
-
Aprons
-
Soakers
-
Back gutters
-
Lead saddles
-
Chimney abutment details
Correctly installed leadwork is essential for keeping the junction between your roof and chimney fully weatherproof.
The flaunching is the mortar around the chimney pots at the top of the stack. If this becomes cracked or loose, water can enter the chimney and cause further damage.
We repair or renew damaged chimney flaunching to help protect the top of the stack and keep chimney pots secure.
Common signs of failing flaunching include:
-
Cracks around chimney pots
-
Loose chimney pots
-
Water ingress
-
Damp patches near chimney breasts
-
Visible deterioration at the top of the stack

Chimney Removal & Rebuilds
Unused or open chimney pots can allow rain, birds and debris to enter the chimney.
We install suitable chimney caps and cowls to help protect your property while maintaining ventilation where required.
This can help prevent:
-
Rain entering the chimney
-
Bird nesting
-
Debris build-up
-
Draught issues
-
Unwanted blockages
Chimney leaks can be difficult to diagnose because water may enter in one area and appear internally somewhere else.
We inspect the surrounding roof area, leadwork, brickwork, flaunching and roof coverings to locate the source of the leak and provide the correct repair.
Common causes of chimney leaks include:
-
Failed lead flashing
-
Cracked flaunching
-
Damaged brickwork
-
Worn mortar joints
-
Broken roof tiles around the chimney
-
Defective valleys or abutments nearby
In some cases, a chimney may be beyond simple repair.
Where required, we can carry out partial chimney rebuilds, take-downs or repairs to unsafe chimney stacks. We always assess the condition first and provide honest advice on whether repair or replacement is the best option.
