Chimney Repair & Repointing questions

Before you book

Why does the mortar matter so much?
Older brick is softer than modern brick. A hard modern mortar on an old chimney forces water and movement into the bricks instead of the joints, and the bricks start to crack and spall. The repair has to match the masonry.
Can a leaning or cracked chimney be saved?
Often the top section can be taken down and rebuilt from the roofline without touching the rest. We check how far the damage goes before recommending anything.
What time of year is best for masonry work?
Mortar needs temperatures above freezing to cure, so major work is planned for spring through late fall. Urgent repairs can be made safe in winter and finished later.
