Is Your Chimney Showing Signs of Wear? What to Look For

It's easy to overlook your chimney, but keeping an eye out for common warning signs can save you from bigger problems later. You might notice crumbling or sandy mortar joints, particularly after strong winds or rain. Perhaps there are loose bricks, or you’re seeing damp patches on your internal walls or ceilings near the chimney breast. Even cracks in the render or vegetation growing from the stack can point to underlying issues. If you spot any of these problems, or if your chimney simply looks tired, it’s a good idea to seek expert advice. Addressing these concerns promptly with professional repointing will protect your home and give you peace of mind.

Why Choose Kevington Roofing for Chimney Repointing?

Our Thorough Chimney Repointing Process for Lasting Results

When you choose Kevington Roofing and Building LTD for your chimney repointing job, you’re choosing a meticulous, quality-focused approach. Our skilled team begins with a detailed inspection to assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action. We then carefully rake out all the old, deteriorated mortar joints to a consistent depth. This prepares the surface perfectly for the new mortar. We use high-quality, weather-resistant mortar mixes, carefully matched to your existing brickwork for colour and texture. The new mortar is then expertly applied, ensuring every joint is solid and weatherproof. This careful, thorough process ensures a durable and long-lasting finish that truly strengthens your chimney.

Why Kevington Roofing is Epsom's Trusted Choice for Chimney Repairs

Choosing the right company for your chimney repairs is vital. For 25 years, Kevington Roofing and Building LTD has built a reputation for reliable, high-quality work across South East London and Kent, including Epsom. We’re not a faceless national company; we’re your local, fully insured, and registered experts (Company No: 12676001). Our team consists of directly employed, skilled professionals who take pride in every job, big or small. We provide transparent, no-obligation quotes, ensuring you know exactly what to expect without any hidden costs. We back our work with a commitment to lasting quality, which is why so much of our work comes from word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied families.

Beyond Repointing: Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance & Repairs

While chimney repointing is a key service, we offer a full spectrum of chimney repair and maintenance solutions. Our team can handle everything from replacing cracked or damaged chimney pots and cowls to ensure proper ventilation and prevent bird nesting, to renewing or repairing lead flashing around the base of the chimney stack, a common source of leaks. We can also address issues with flaunching – the concrete cap at the top of your chimney – and even rebuild entire chimney stacks if the damage is too extensive for simple repairs. Our aim is to provide an efficient and complete service, keeping your chimney safe and functional.

Secure Your Home and Prevent Costly Damage with Professional Repointing

Investing in professional chimney repointing isn't just about fixing a problem; it's about protecting your entire home. Deteriorated mortar joints are an open invitation for water to penetrate your chimney stack, leading to dampness inside your home, rot in timber joists, and even structural compromise over time. Our expert repointing service creates a strong, weatherproof barrier, safeguarding your property from potential water damage. It also improves your home's kerb appeal, adding to its overall value and giving you long-term peace of mind. Don't wait for a small issue to become a major headache.

"Reliable and prompt - the Kevington team was able to view the property and provide options and transparent, itemised quotes on the same day I called. 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."

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.
