Chimney Repairs and Repointing in Bromley
Chimneys are exposed to wind and rain on every side. Failed mortar, cracked flaunching, damaged leadwork and loose pots can cause leaks or falling masonry. We repair the complete chimney-and-roof junction rather than treating only the most visible crack.

Signs a chimney needs attention
Damp near a chimney breast, loose mortar, vegetation, cracked flaunching, leaning pots, staining below flashings and debris at roof level should be investigated. A leak can also originate from the roof covering or valley beside the stack, so the surrounding roof is checked.
Safe access
Chimney work frequently requires scaffolding or another suitable access method. The quotation will explain the proposed access and any limitations discovered during inspection.

Frequently asked questions
Does a leaking chimney always need rebuilding?
No. Many leaks result from local mortar, flashing or flaunching defects. Rebuilding is considered when the masonry is unstable or extensively deteriorated.
Can you remove an unused chimney?
We can assess roofing aspects of chimney alteration, but removal can affect structure, ventilation, shared party walls and planning. Appropriate professional advice and permissions may be required.
Do you fit chimney cowls?
Yes, where a suitable cowl or cap is part of the agreed solution. The appliance and ventilation requirements must be considered.
