Professional Chimney Repointing: Our Thorough Process

At Kevington Roofing and Building LTD, we specialise in restoring the integrity of your chimney stack through professional repointing. This isn't just about patching up; it’s a meticulous process to renew the mortar joints. We carefully rake out all the old, failing mortar to a consistent depth. Then, we prepare a high-quality, durable mortar mix, chosen to match your existing brickwork and the specific needs of your chimney. Our skilled team then expertly applies the new mortar, pressing it firmly into the joints to create a weatherproof and structurally sound bond that will protect your chimney for decades to come.

Why Choose Kevington Roofing for Chimney Repointing?

Comprehensive Chimney Stack Repairs for Dartford Homes

While repointing is often the main solution, we offer a full range of chimney services to address any issue your stack might face. Perhaps your chimney pot is cracked, or the lead flashing where the chimney meets the roof has failed – a common culprit for leaks. We handle everything from replacing damaged chimney pots and cowls to repairing or renewing lead work with traditional bossing and welding techniques. We also carry out full or partial chimney stack rebuilds where necessary, ensuring the entire structure is robust and safe. No matter the problem, we provide a lasting solution.

The Benefits of Investing in Professional Chimney Work

A well-maintained chimney offers more than just structural integrity; it actively protects your home. Expert repointing and repairs prevent water from penetrating your brickwork, which stops damp, mould, and costly internal damage. It also significantly improves your home's kerb appeal, as a tidy, well-kept chimney instantly enhances its appearance. Most importantly, a sound chimney reduces the risk of falling masonry, ensuring the safety of your family and passers-by. Investing in your chimney now can save you significant repair costs down the line.

After deciding what level of work I wanted done, they returned soon after to carry out the roof repairs to a high standard without me even needing to be there."

"Highly recommended! Great price! First class job. Nothing was too much for these lads, very polite, got the job done and more. When they had finished they cleaned up that well, even took some of my own rubbish away for me. Well done lads! Not often you get a good, honest local roofer anymore! Thanks again."

Chimney Repointing FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional chimney repointing, brickwork restoration, and mortar repair services in Ramsden, Bromley, and across Croydon & South London.

Why Use a Drone for Inspections?

+

It is much safer than using ladders for a first look.
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.
