Understanding Chimney Mortar Failure: What to Look For

As chimneys are exposed to the elements, the mortar that holds the bricks together gradually breaks down. You might notice various tell-tale signs that your chimney needs attention. Crumbling or sandy mortar joints are a clear indication. You might also see loose bricks, or even pieces of mortar falling onto your roof or into your garden. Damp patches on internal walls near the chimney breast are another big red flag, signalling water is getting in. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial to prevent more costly structural damage or water ingress into your home.

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.
