  • Inspection: Before we begin any chimney repointing, we will conduct a careful inspection of your chimney to ensure that repointing will be the most effective solution. We will pay close attention to every component of your chimney, including the bricks and mortar, to determine if chimney repointing is necessary. If we find that your bricks or mortar need to be replaced, you can rely on us to handle the task with excellence.
  • Replace the mortar: Over time, the mortar joints between the bricks can become worn and deteriorated, which can pose serious hazards for your entire property. During a chimney repointing service, we will meticulously replace the mortar joints between the bricks
  • Restrengthen the chimney: By adding fresh mortar to your chimney, we can effectively restrengthen the durability and structural integrity of your chimney. This can also reduce the risk of potential damage to your property.
