Chimney Repairs
A well-maintained chimney is vital for both the safety and efficiency of your home. At Emerald Roofing and Home Improvements, we specialise in professional chimney repairs, helping homeowners across the UK keep their roofs and fireplaces in excellent condition. With years of experience in the roofing industry, our expert team provides reliable, long-lasting solutions for all types of chimney damage—from minor cracks to full rebuilds.
Why Chimney Maintenance Matters
Your chimney plays a crucial role in ventilating smoke, gases, and heat from your home. However, constant exposure to weather elements such as rain, frost, and wind can cause significant wear and tear over time.
Cracks in the mortar, loose bricks, or damaged flashing can quickly lead to leaks and structural problems if ignored. That’s why regular chimney inspection and timely repairs are essential for maintaining both safety and energy efficiency.
At Emerald Roofing and Home Improvements, we understand how small chimney issues can escalate into expensive problems. Our team works proactively to identify the root cause of the damage and restore your chimney to a safe and functional state.
Our Chimney Repair Services
We offer a complete range of chimney repair and maintenance services, tailored to your property’s needs. Whether your home features a traditional brick chimney or a modern flue system, our specialists deliver quality workmanship on every project.
1. Chimney Repointing
Over time, the mortar between bricks can deteriorate due to moisture and temperature changes. Our chimney repointing service involves carefully removing the damaged mortar and replacing it with fresh, weather-resistant material to strengthen your chimney structure and prevent water ingress.
2. Chimney Re-Flaunching and Capping
Damaged or missing flaunching at the top of your chimney can allow water to penetrate the stack. We rebuild and reseal the flaunching to protect your chimney’s interior. We can also install or replace chimney cowls and caps to improve ventilation and reduce the risk of rainwater and debris entering the flue.
3. Chimney Stack Repairs
From minor brickwork cracks to full stack rebuilds, we handle all aspects of chimney restoration. Our skilled masons ensure that every repair blends seamlessly with your existing roofline while meeting the highest safety and durability standards.
4. Chimney Flashing Replacement
Flashing is one of the most common causes of roof leaks around chimneys. We use high-quality lead or modern alternative materials to reseal the joint between the chimney and roof, ensuring a watertight finish that lasts for years.
5. Chimney Removal
If your chimney is no longer in use or has become unsafe, we can safely dismantle and remove it. We’ll make sure your roof is fully repaired and sealed once the chimney is gone, maintaining the integrity and appearance of your property.
