Common chimney problems we repair in Tunbridge Wells
Chimneys are one of the most common causes of roof leaks, especially on older properties.
We regularly repair:
- Leaking or split lead flashing around chimney stacks
- Loose, cracked or missing mortar pointing
- Chimney stack repointing and brickwork repairs
- Cracked chimney render or failing flaunching
- Loose or damaged chimney pots and cowls
- Water ingress into lofts, chimney breasts and upstairs ceilings
- Storm damage to stacks, pots and leadwork
Chimney flashing repairs (leadwork)
Lead flashing is designed to create a watertight seal where the chimney meets the roof. If the flashing splits, lifts or is poorly dressed, water can track into the loft and cause damp patches.
We repair or replace stepped flashing, apron flashing and back gutters where required, and ensure everything is securely fixed and weatherproofed.
Chimney repointing and brickwork repairs
Weather exposure can cause mortar joints to crumble over time. Repointing strengthens the stack, improves weather resistance and helps prevent leaks. If bricks are spalled or damaged, we can replace them and repoint the surrounding areas for a neat finish.
Chimney capping and weather protection
If a chimney is no longer in use, capping can prevent rainwater entering and reduce draughts. We can advise on appropriate vented caps and cowls depending on whether the flue is active.

How do I know if my chimney flashing is leaking?
Common signs include damp patches on chimney breasts, water marks in the loft near the stack, or leaks after wind-driven rain. We can inspect the flashing and advise the best fix.

Yes. Repointing strengthens the stack and helps prevent water ingress. If bricks are damaged, we can also replace bricks as needed.
