At Hammerslate Roofing and Building, we are trusted chimney repair specialists serving homeowners and businesses across London.

 

Chimneys are constantly exposed to wind, rain, frost, and pollution, making them one of the most vulnerable parts of a building. Without proper maintenance, they can develop cracks, leaks, and structural instability.

 

Our team provides expert chimney repair solutions that restore strength, improve safety, and prevent long-term water ingress and costly structural damage.

 

We combine traditional masonry expertise with modern repair techniques to ensure long-lasting protection and performance.

Our Comprehensive Chimney Repair Services

Masonry Chimney Repairs

We repair cracked, loose, or damaged brickwork to restore the structural integrity of your chimney. This includes rebuilding damaged sections, replacing deteriorated bricks, and restoring the original strength of the structure.

Chimney Flashing & Seal Repairs

Damaged flashing is one of the most common causes of chimney leaks. We specialise in repairing and replacing lead flashing to ensure a fully waterproof seal between your chimney and roof.

Chimney Leak Detection & Repair

We identify and fix chimney leaks caused by cracked mortar, damaged flashing, or weather exposure. Our leak repair solutions prevent water ingress, damp issues, and internal property damage.

Chimney Repointing Services

Over time, mortar joints weaken and crumble due to weather exposure. Our repointing services restore the mortar between bricks, strengthening the chimney and preventing further deterioration.

Chimney Stack Repairs & Rebuilding

We provide full or partial chimney stack rebuilds. This ensures structural safety, stability, and long-term durability for heavily deteriorated chimneys.

Chimney Pot Replacement

We replace damaged or unstable chimney pots to ensure proper ventilation and structural safety. This helps prevent blockages, leaks, and falling debris hazards.
