Chimney Repairs in Hinckley & Leicestershire
Repointing, re-flashing, rebuilds and capping to keep stacks sound and dry.
About Our Chimney Repairs
A chimney takes the full force of the weather from every side, so it is often the first part of a roof to show its age. Eroded mortar and tired flashing are a common and preventable source of leaks.
We repoint, re-flash, rebuild and cap chimney stacks, and can remove or cap off a stack that is no longer in use, leaving it weathertight.
What's Included
- Repointing eroded mortar joints
- New lead flashing and soakers
- Rebuilding unstable or leaning stacks
- Fitting cowls, caps and vented covers
- Re-rendering and crown repairs
- Capping off redundant chimneys
Signs You May Need This
- Damp on the wall around the chimney breast
- Loose or missing mortar between bricks
- Rusted, lifting or cracked flashing
- A visibly leaning or crumbling stack
What Affects the Price
Every roof is different, so we quote each job on its own merits after a proper look. These are the main things that influence the cost of chimney repairs:
- The extent of pointing, flashing or rebuilding needed
- The height of the stack and access to it
- Whether specialist scaffolding is required
- Materials, including the weight of lead used

Chimney Repairs: Your Questions Answered
Common questions about chimney repairs in Hinckley and Leicestershire. If yours is not here, just get in touch.
Why is my chimney leaking?
Chimney leaks are most often caused by eroded mortar joints or failed lead flashing where the stack meets the roof. Both are common with age and are usually straightforward to put right before they cause damp inside.
Can you remove a chimney that is no longer used?
Yes. We can take down a redundant stack and make the roof weathertight, or cap it off and fit a vented cover so it stays dry and ventilated if you want to keep it in place.
What is chimney repointing?
Repointing means raking out the old, eroded mortar between the bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar. It restores the strength of the stack and keeps water out of the joints.
