Repointing
Perished mortar raked out and repointed in a mix that suits the brick — lime where the house needs it — so water stays out and the brick stops spalling.

As seen in
Chimneys stand above the roofline in the wind and rain, and frost gets into every crack in the mortar. Once the pointing goes, water tracks down inside the stack and shows up as damp on a chimney breast two floors below — often blamed on the roof. We inspect the whole stack, from pots and flaunching down to the lead at the base, and photograph what we find. Then you get one fixed price for the repair that's actually needed, whether that's an afternoon's repointing or a rebuild from the roofline up.
02
Partial and full rebuilds
Leaning, cracked or frost-damaged stacks taken down to sound brickwork and rebuilt to match, with new flaunching and pots.
03
Lead flashings and back gutters
New stepped flashings, soakers and back gutters in proper Code 4 lead, dressed and pointed in — the usual cause of a 'leaking chimney'.
04
Flaunching, pots and cowls
Cracked flaunching re-done, loose pots re-bedded or replaced, and cowls or bird guards fitted to keep rain and nests out of open flues.
05
Capping and removing unused chimneys
Redundant stacks capped and vented to stop damp, or removed below the roofline and the roof made good — often cheaper than another rebuild.
06
Leaking chimney investigations
Damp on a chimney breast has a handful of usual causes. We find which one it is before anyone starts pointing at the roof.

We come out, get up to the roof where it's safe to, and photograph what we find so you can see the problem for yourself.

Usually one of four things: failed pointing letting water into the stack, cracked flaunching around the pots, lead flashings that have split or lifted at the base, or an open flue with no cowl letting rain straight down. We check all four.
Most of it does — it's the highest, most exposed point of the roof and there's nothing safe to stand on. Scaffolding is itemised on the quote up front, never added afterwards.
Yes. We can cap and vent it so the flue stays dry, or take it down below the roofline and slate or tile over. If a neighbour shares the stack, we'll advise on what's possible.
If the brick is sound and only the mortar has gone, repointing is enough. If bricks are spalling, the stack is leaning, or the top courses are loose, a partial rebuild from sound brickwork is the honest fix — and we'll show you the photos either way.
Yes. Every job carries our 10-year workmanship guarantee in writing, alongside any manufacturer guarantee on the materials. We're TrustMark certified and Bauder and Garland approved, and we've been on Greater Manchester's roofs for over 20 years.
