Expert Chimney Repointing: Our Meticulous Approach

When we undertake a chimney repointing job, we don’t cut corners. Our process is thorough, designed to deliver a lasting repair. We start by carefully raking out the old, failing mortar to a consistent depth. This prepares the joints for new material. We then apply fresh, high-quality mortar – specifically chosen to match your existing brickwork’s colour and composition, where possible – using traditional pointing techniques. This ensures not only a strong, weather-resistant bond but also a finish that blends seamlessly with your home's aesthetics. Whether your chimney requires full repointing or localised repairs to address loose bricks or cracked joints, our skilled team works efficiently and to the highest standards.

Why Choose Kevington Roofing for Chimney Repointing?

Spotting the Signs: Does Your Chimney Need Attention?

Knowing what to look for can save you a lot of hassle and expense down the line. Keep an eye out for these common indicators that your chimney might need repointing:

Cracked or Crumbling Mortar: The most obvious sign. If you can easily scrape out mortar with a key or a screwdriver, it's definitely time for a professional assessment.
Loose or Wobbly Bricks: As mortar degrades, bricks can become unstable.
Damp Patches or Stains: If you notice water stains on your chimney breast inside the house, or in your loft around the chimney stack, this often points to water penetration through failing mortar or flashing.
Efflorescence: White, powdery deposits on the brickwork can indicate moisture moving through the masonry.
Ignoring these warning signs can lead to more extensive and costly structural damage, so a timely chimney repair service is always the best advice.

Don't Let a Leaky Chimney Cause Bigger Problems

Neglecting your chimney can lead to a cascade of issues. Water penetration through damaged mortar can cause timber rot in your roof structure and loft, potentially compromising the integrity of your entire roof. It can also lead to unsightly and unhealthy damp patches and mould growth within your home, impacting air quality and your living environment. More severely, a structurally unsound chimney can be a hazard, especially in high winds. Our comprehensive chimney services are designed to address these risks head-on, protecting your property from the elements and maintaining its structural soundness.

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.
