Why Your Chimney's Mortar Matters

The mortar between your chimney bricks acts like the glue holding everything securely in place. When this mortar starts to fail, it creates vulnerabilities. You might notice loose mortar, crumbling sections, or even bricks beginning to shift. These gaps are an open invitation for rainwater to seep into your chimney stack and potentially into your loft space or internal walls. Ignoring these warning signs means risking significant structural issues, damp patches, and expensive repairs further down the line. Investing in timely chimney repointing isn't just about appearance; it's about maintaining the integrity and safety of your entire property.

Why Choose Kevington Roofing for Chimney Repointing?

Spotting the Signs: Does Your Chimney Need Repointing?

It's not always obvious from ground level when your chimney needs attention. However, a keen eye can spot some common indicators. Look for cracked or crumbling mortar joints, especially on the more exposed sides of the chimney. You might see sections of mortar missing entirely, or even vegetation growing out of the joints. Loose or spalled bricks are another clear sign. If you notice damp patches appearing on your chimney breast inside your home, or water stains in your loft near the chimney stack, a failing chimney structure is often the culprit. If you're unsure, or simply want a professional opinion, don't hesitate to contact us.

Our Professional Chimney Repointing Process

At Kevington Roofing and Building LTD, our chimney repointing service is thorough and efficient, designed to deliver lasting results. We begin with a careful assessment of your chimney's condition, identifying all areas of concern. Our skilled team then meticulously removes all loose and deteriorated mortar from the joints, creating a clean, solid base for the new material. We use high-quality, weather-resistant mortar, carefully matched in colour and texture to your existing brickwork where possible, for a seamless finish. The new mortar is expertly applied and 'struck' to ensure it compacts properly and sheds water effectively, securing your chimney for decades to come.

Choosing the right company for your chimney work is crucial. With a quarter-century of hands-on experience in roofing and building, Kevington Roofing and Building LTD stands apart. We're not just roofers; we're craftsmen who understand the nuances of traditional and modern chimney construction.

Beyond Repointing: Complete Chimney Services

While repointing is often the core of chimney maintenance, it’s just one part of keeping your chimney stack in top condition. Our comprehensive chimney services extend to addressing all aspects of chimney health. We regularly handle lead flashing replacement and repair, crucial for preventing water ingress where the chimney meets the roof. We can also undertake full or partial chimney rebuilds if the structure is severely damaged, install new chimney pots, or repair/replace damaged chimney flaunching. Whatever your chimney's needs, our experienced team provides a complete solution from assessment to completion, ensuring the entire structure is robust and weatherproof.

Why Use a Drone for Inspections?

+

It saves you money on scaffolding costs.
High-res images show tiny cracks that you can’t see from the ground.
It provides a clear paper trail for mortgage lenders or insurers.

What are the signs that my chimney needs repointing?

+

If you notice bits of mortar on the ground or see gaps between the bricks when looking through binoculars, it is time for a check-up. White salt stains or damp patches on the breast inside your house also suggest that water is getting through the mortar joints.

How does Kevington Roofing fix a leaking chimney stack?

+

We start by checking the lead flashing and the mortar. Often, we need to grind out the old, crumbling mortar and replace it with a fresh mix that matches your home’s look. This is called repointing. If the bricks themselves are "blown" or cracked, we can replace them to make the stack solid again.

Is chimney repointing a messy job?

+

We use dust extraction tools to keep things as clean as possible. While there is always a bit of debris when removing old mortar, we make sure your roof and garden are protected and we tidy up completely once the masonry repairs are finished.

Do I need to replace the lead flashing when I have the chimney repaired?

+

Not always, but it is often the best time to do it. Lead flashing is the waterproof seal between the chimney and the roof. If it is cracked or pulling away, replacing it while we are already working on the brickwork restoration saves you money on future call-outs.

Can you handle repairs on very tall chimney stacks in Bromley?

+

Yes. Whether your home is a Victorian terrace or a modern detached house, we have the equipment to reach high stacks safely. For very complex repairs, we can arrange the necessary scaffolding to make sure the work is done to the highest standard.

How long will a chimney stack repair last?

+

When we do a full repointing job and fix any damaged bricks, you should expect the repair to last for decades. Using the right mortar mix is the secret to making sure it stands up to the wind and rain we get here in the South East.
