Chimney Repointing in London
London Chimney Repairs and Brickwork
Over time, the mortar between your chimney bricks can break down due to weather exposure — wind, rain, and frost all take their toll. When that happens, gaps form, bricks become loose, and water can find its way in.
At Imperial Roofing Ltd, we provide professional chimney repointing services across London, helping to restore your chimney’s strength, stability, and weather resistance.
Signs that your chimney may need repointing include visible crumbling mortar, water stains on nearby ceilings or walls, loose or missing bricks, and signs of leaning or instability. You may also notice debris from the mortar collecting around the base of the chimney.
Left untreated, damaged chimney brickwork can lead to serious structural issues and costly roof repairs. Our experienced team uses high-quality materials and time-tested techniques to ensure a watertight, long-lasting finish.
Whether your chimney needs minor brickwork repairs or full repointing, Imperial Roofing Ltd is here to help.

What do we do to fix the issue?
Full inspection of the chimney
We start by carefully inspecting your chimney to assess the condition of the mortar, brickwork, and surrounding areas. This allows us to identify any structural issues, weather damage, or signs of water ingress that need addressing.
Safe removal of old mortar
Any loose, cracked, or crumbling mortar is gently raked out using specialist tools, taking care not to damage the existing bricks. This prepares the surface for a clean and lasting repair.
Repointing with high-quality mortar
We apply fresh, weather-resistant mortar to the joints, matching the original finish where possible. This not only restores the strength of your chimney but also protects it against future damage from rain, frost, and wind.
Brick replacement if needed
If any bricks are damaged beyond repair, we can replace them with suitable matching units to maintain the structural integrity and appearance of the chimney.
Leadwork checks and repair
We inspect the lead flashing around the chimney base to make sure it’s in good condition. If it’s cracked or worn, we’ll repair or replace it to ensure a watertight seal and prevent leaks into your roof space.
Optional chimney capping or cowling
To further protect your chimney, we can install caps or cowls that prevent rain, birds, and debris from getting in, while still allowing proper ventilation.
Clean and tidy finish
Once the repointing is complete, we make sure everything is left clean, safe, and looking neat. You’ll be left with a chimney that’s not only functional but also adds to the overall appearance of your roof.
