Chimney Repairs and Leadwork
Chimneys endure relentless exposure to wind, rain, and frost, which degrades mortar joints and lead flashings over time. Capital Roofing provides expert chimney repairs, repointing, and leadwork across London to keep your stack watertight.
When You Need Chimney Repairs
Crumbling mortar or loose bricks on your chimney stack. Damp patches appearing on bedroom ceilings immediately surrounding the chimney breast. Damaged, cracked, or loose lead flashing letting water run behind the brickwork. A leaning or unstable chimney pot that poses a safety hazard.
How We Do It
We inspect the chimney stack from scaffold access to assess structural stability and mortar condition. We rake out damaged mortar joints and repoint the brickwork using robust, weather-resistant mortar. We replace worn or poorly fitted lead flashings and step flashings to secure watertight drainage. We secure or replace damaged chimney pots and cowls as needed before cleaning up the work area.
What to Expect
Most chimney repairs and repointing projects take 1 to 2 days depending on weather conditions and scaffolding requirements.
