Chimney repairs that deal with both masonry and flashing
Chimneys take a hammering from the weather and the join between the chimney and roof is a common place for leaks to start. We repair chimney brickwork, mortar, cappings and roof flashing across Sydney.
Cracked mortar, loose bricks, damaged render, tired cappings and failed flashing can all let water in. We inspect the chimney itself as well as the roof junction around it.
What we check on a chimney repair
- Inspect the chimney, capping and roof junction
- Check brickwork, mortar and render condition
- Repair or rebuild damaged sections where required
- Renew or repair flashing around the chimney
- Check the finished work for stability and weatherproofing
The roof-to-chimney join matters
A chimney can look fine from the street and still leak around old flashing. We check how water is being directed around the chimney and whether mortar or cappings are contributing to the problem.
If the masonry is badly deteriorated, we will explain what can be repaired and when a more substantial rebuild makes better sense.
Seeing cracks or water marks near the chimney?
Do not wait for loose masonry or a recurring leak to get worse. We can inspect the area and work out whether the issue is brickwork, flashing, the capping or a combination of the three.
Where we work
We carry out chimney and associated roof repairs across established Sydney suburbs, including the Inner West, North Shore, eastern suburbs, west and south.
New Chimneys & Repairs FAQs
Can a leaking chimney be caused by flashing?
Yes. Failed or poorly detailed flashing around the chimney is a common source of roof leaks.
Do you repair brickwork as well as roofing around the chimney?
We can assess masonry repairs, repointing, cappings and associated roof flashing as part of the scope.
Can you rebuild a damaged chimney?
Where a chimney is unstable or too deteriorated for local repairs, we can discuss partial or more extensive rebuilding.
