Does your chimney look like this? 👀
(See the first 2 photos for an example.)
If so, it might be time to take action.
We recently completed a chimney breast repointing job where the existing mortar had started to break down, leaving gaps and cracks that can quickly lead to bigger problems if left untreated.
Repointing isn’t just about improving how your home looks — it plays a key role in protecting the structure of your property. Damaged mortar can allow water to seep in, which may lead to:
• Damp and internal water damage which can be a cause of mold growing in your house!
• Loose or unstable brickwork
• More costly repairs down the line
By professionally repointing the chimney, we’ve restored both its strength and appearance, helping to protect it for years to come. In most cases, good quality repointing can last around 10–15 years depending on exposure to weather and overall maintenance.
If your chimney is showing signs of wear, don’t leave it until it becomes a bigger (and more expensive) issue.
