Chimney Repairs in Bath
Chimneys take a beating from weather & age, and small problems can quickly turn into leaks or loose bricks. We carry out reliable chimney repairs across Bath, keeping your roof safe & watertight.
Chimney repair Bath
If your chimney stack is cracked, leaning or letting in water, we can put it right. Repairs range from replacing damaged bricks to resealing joints & fitting new lead flashing where needed.
Chimney repair cost factors
The price depends on things like how high the chimney is, whether scaffolding is needed & the materials involved. We’ll check the stack, explain what’s required & give you a clear written quote before starting.
Common chimney issues
Typical problems include cracked mortar, loose bricks, leaks around the lead flashing & damaged flaunching on top. Sorting these early stops water getting in and saves money on bigger fixes later.
Chimney Repointing Services
Old mortar doesn’t last forever. It can crack, wash out or just crumble away, leaving your chimney open to water and damage. We handle chimney repointing all over Bath to keep stacks solid & weatherproof.
Chimney repointing Bath
If the joints between your bricks have worn out, we’ll scrape out the loose stuff and press in fresh, strong mortar. This seals the chimney again and helps stop damp before it spreads.
Cost to repoint a chimney
The price changes with the size and height of your stack, how much mortar needs replacing & whether we need scaffolding. We’ll have a proper look, talk you through what’s involved & give a clear quote before we start.
Do you always need scaffolding for repointing?
Not every time. Shorter or easy-to-reach chimneys can sometimes be done from ladders, but tall or tricky roofs usually need scaffold for safety. We’ll check the access first and go with the safest, most cost-effective option.
Lead Flashing Repairs & Replacement
Lead flashing keeps water out where your chimney meets the roof. When it cracks, lifts or wears thin, leaks can follow fast. We fix and replace flashing across Bath so your roof stays watertight.
Lead flashing repair Bath
If the lead around your chimney is split or coming loose, we can patch or replace just the damaged sections. This stops water sneaking in and saves you from bigger roof repairs later.
Chimney flashing repair & replacement
Sometimes flashing is too far gone for a simple patch. We’ll strip out the old lead, fit new pieces that sit tight to the brickwork & seal every joint so it lasts for years.
Why flashing is vital to prevent leaks
Flashing is your first defence against water getting in where the roof and chimney meet. Once it fails, rain can run straight into your loft and cause damp, rot or ceiling damage. Fixing it early is cheaper than dealing with a major leak.
Chimney Rebuilds & Specialist Services
Sometimes a chimney is too damaged to patch. We handle full chimney rebuilds, removals & other specialist work across Bath, keeping homes safe & dry.
Chimney rebuild Bath
If your stack is cracked, leaning or badly weathered, we can take it down to a solid base and rebuild it brick by brick. A proper rebuild restores strength, stops leaks & keeps your roofline looking right.
Chimney removal & demolition services
Not every home needs to keep its chimney. If yours is redundant or causing problems, we can safely take it down, make the roof good and leave the space watertight.

FAQs About Chimney Repairs
How much does chimney repointing cost?
It depends on how big the stack is, how easy it is to reach & how much mortar needs replacing. Simple jobs on a small chimney can be fairly quick, but taller stacks needing scaffold will cost more. We’ll have a proper look first and give you a clear price.
Can I repair chimney flashing instead of replacing it?
Sometimes, yes. If the lead is just cracked in a small area, we can patch or reseal it. But if it’s badly split, thin or pulling away from the brickwork, it’s usually better to fit new flashing so the leak doesn’t come back.
How long does chimney repointing last?
Good repointing should last 20 years or more if it’s done well and the chimney stays in good condition. Keeping an eye out for cracks or weather damage can help it last longer.
