Professional chimney re-pointing across the North East
Exposed chimney stacks take a battering in North East weather. Perished mortar lets water track down into the roof space and shows up as damp patches on bedroom ceilings. We rake out and re-point stacks, renew flaunching and lead flashings, and can fit cowls or take a redundant stack down altogether.

Weatherproof

Chimney Re-pointing FAQs
How do I know my chimney needs re-pointing?
Crumbling mortar, damp patches on the ceiling below or vegetation growing in the joints are the usual signs.
Can you remove a chimney we no longer use?
Yes. We take the stack down to below roof level and tile over, leaving the roof watertight.
How long does re-pointing last?
A properly raked out and re-pointed stack should last twenty years or more.
