Why Your Chimney Needs Attention: Spotting the Warning Signs

A healthy chimney is vital for keeping your home dry and safe. Many homeowners in Horley often don't realise their chimney needs work until a problem arises. Look out for these common issues:

Crumbling or Missing Mortar: This is the most obvious sign. If the mortar between your chimney bricks is soft, sandy, or falling out, water can easily get in.
Loose or Spalling Bricks: Once mortar fails, bricks can become loose or start to 'spall' (flake and break apart) due to frost damage.
Damp Patches on Interior Walls: If water is penetrating the chimney stack, you might notice dampness or staining on ceilings or walls near the chimney breast. This can quickly lead to rot and mould.
Visible Cracks in the Stack: Large cracks can indicate significant structural movement or severe weather damage.
Addressing these needs promptly with professional repointing prevents costly, larger-scale damage down the line, safeguarding your home's structure.

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.
