Chimneys
General Enquiry
Chimney Services
If you have a fireplace or any oil-fuelled appliances in your home, you need a chimney. Your chimney is a critical part of your roof and provides ventilation for toxic exhaust gasses or smoke produced by fireplaces, stoves or boilers. Our expert chimney repair in London services ensure your chimney works safely and efficiently year-round.

Chimney stacks are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather, and around winter they can take a hammering with all of the wind, rain, hail and snow the UK gets. Having your chimney inspected and repointed is an essential part of keeping your chimney stable, safe and secure on your roof. If you leave it too long, it’s an accident waiting to happen.
Pointing
Pointing is the term for the ‘finishing’ between bricks that keeps them locked into place. Over time, the pointing on chimneys can get damaged, causing loose bricks. These loose bricks in the chimney stack can block the ventilation or even fall from the roof, causing instability, damage and even injury.
We perform a full chimney investigation to assess the condition of your chimney, along with maintenance and repair services to resolve any problems quickly and with minimum disruption. If we find damage we can repair or repoint the chimney, rebuild it or if you no longer need it, we can even remove it altogether. We pride ourselves on honesty and transparency, so we will only suggest rebuilding or removing if it’s completely necessary.
Leadwork Repairs
Failing leadwork isn’t just an eyesore – it can cause problems with leaks inside your home. In fact, they’re often the real source of a leaky roof! The lead flashing around the base of your chimney provides a weatherproof layer between the roof elevation and the chimney stack. Even the slightest crack can allow rainwater into the property and cause a lot of water damage.
Our team can perform leadwork and crown repairs on damaged chimneys, through to complete replacement of the leadwork and crowning if it’s needed. We are experts in the repair and maintenance of chimney stacks of all shapes and sizes, and all of our work comes with a full guarantee, ensuring your property is left safe inside and out.
