Chimney repairs that stop the leak properly
Chimneys are exposed to driving rain, frost and movement. We investigate the actual entry point before recommending work, whether that means repointing, renewing leadwork, rebuilding defective sections or improving the weathering around the stack.

Clear advice before work starts
Send photographs of the chimney from the ground, inside the affected room and from the roof if safe. We can often identify the likely issue before arranging a visit and will explain whether a repair or rebuild is justified.
Common questions
How do I know if the chimney is causing damp?
Damp around a chimney breast, staining in the loft or water appearing after wind-driven rain can all point to failed flashing, pointing or weathering. Photographs help us narrow it down.
Do you repair leadwork as well as chimneys?
Yes. We carry out lead flashing, soakers, aprons, back gutters and related roof repairs as part of a complete weatherproofing solution.
Featured chimney repairs project: Harrogate
See our detailed Harrogate project showing a leaking stone chimney opened up and rebuilt with internal lead trays, new external leadwork and traditional lime mortar — a useful example of why repointing alone is not always enough.
Chimney and leadwork as part of your local roof repair
