Chimney repointing Straightforward conversations Clear scope before work begins
01 / A LITTLE KNOW-HOW
Strong brickwork starts
with the joints.
Repointing means carefully removing deteriorated mortar between bricks and replacing it with mortar suited to the existing brickwork.
It helps look after a chimney’s worn joints. The right repair starts with understanding the condition of your stack.
Noticed any of these?
Your chimney could be ready for a closer look.02
Gaps between the bricks
Deeply recessed joints or missing sections of mortar deserve attention.

A bit more
peace of mind.
Not sure where to start?
That’s what the first conversation is for.
Does my chimney need repointing?
Missing, cracked or crumbling mortar may indicate worn joints. An assessment helps establish whether repointing is suitable or whether another issue needs attention.
Will repointing fix a leaking chimney?
Deteriorated joints can let water into brickwork, but chimney leaks can have several causes. Repointing should be recommended where it addresses the problem identified.
How much does chimney repointing cost?
The price depends on the size and condition of the chimney, how much mortar needs replacing and the access needed to carry out the work. Your quote should reflect those details.
Can I send photos to get started?
Yes. If you have photos taken safely from the ground, you can attach them when you email your enquiry. A closer inspection may still be needed before the work can be quoted. Please don’t climb onto your roof.
Is this a confirmed appointment?
No. The enquiry starts a conversation about your chimney. Any visit, work and price will need to be agreed with Stacks & Cracks.
