Chimney Repairs across Surbiton and London SW

A chimney stack stands proud of the roof on all four sides, so it takes rain, wind and frost from every direction. We repoint washed-out joints, cut out and re-form cracked flaunching around the pots, re-dress the lead flashing, and rebuild the stack where the brickwork has gone too far. A stack that is no longer used can be taken down below the roof line and capped, or reduced and capped with a vented cowl.

Water getting in through open joints and cracked flaunching works down inside the brickwork and shows up as damp in the bedroom or in the loft beside the stack. Putting the stack right stops that at the source, protects the ceilings and plaster below, and keeps a disused flue ventilated so it does not sweat.

We tell you honestly whether the stack needs repointing, a partial rebuild or taking down, rather than selling you the biggest job. Scaffold is priced in from the start, the roof is made good over any opening, and the site is left clean.

We work across Surbiton and the KT6 postcodes in London SW, including Mitcham, Wallington, Oval, Anerley and Lower Sydenham. Ring 0208 528 3016 and you will get someone who knows the area.

FAQs

Chimney Repairs in Surbiton: what people ask

Do you cover Surbiton?

Yes. Chimney Repairs across Surbiton and the surrounding KT6 area, including Mitcham, Wallington, Oval, Anerley and Lower Sydenham. The local number is 0208 528 3016, answered 7am to 7pm, seven days a week.

There is damp on the bedroom wall next to the chimney. Is that the stack?

Very often, yes. Water getting in through open joints or cracked flaunching runs down inside the brickwork and shows up on the wall below. The flashing where the stack meets the roof is the other common source.

We do not use the fireplace. Can the chimney just come down?

It can. It is normally taken down below the roof line and the roof made good over the opening. The alternative is reducing the stack and capping it with a vented cowl, which keeps the flue ventilated and is cheaper.

Does chimney work need scaffolding?

Almost always. Working on a stack means standing on the roof for an extended period with materials, and that is not a ladder job.
