Chimney building and repair services

What can a chimney & fireplace expert help with?

Chimney and fireplace experts, who are often builders and bricklayers, specialise in a wide range of services to ensure your home’s heating system is safe and efficient:

  • Inspection and Cleaning: Regular inspections and cleaning of chimneys to prevent blockages and reduce the risk of fires.
  • Repairs: Addressing common issues like cracks in the chimney flue, damaged mortar joints, and broken chimney pots.
  • Installation: Installing new chimneys, flue liners, and fireplace inserts or updating existing structures.
  • Maintenance: Performing routine checks and maintenance tasks to extend the lifespan of your chimney and fireplace.
  • Safety Upgrades: Installing or replacing chimney caps, crowns, and dampers to improve safety and functionality.

What should I consider when hiring someone to repair my chimney or fireplace?

  1. Are a skilled company with a strong history of high standard projects  
  2. Have all the necessary licences and insurance needed to protect you and their workers 
  3. Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability  
  4. Are offering the chimney and fireplace services you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it to be completed by 
  5. Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other chimney and fireplace companies  

How much do chimney & fireplace repairs cost?

The cost of chimney and fireplace repairs can vary significantly based on the type of repair, the materials required, the accessibility of the chimney, and your geographic location. Here’s a more detailed look at potential costs:

Basic Maintenance and Repairs

  • Chimney Sweeping and Cleaning: Regular cleaning is essential to prevent soot and creosote accumulation that can lead to chimney fires. Typical costs range from £50 to £200.
  • Patching Cracks in the Flue: Minor repairs such as sealing small cracks or holes in the flue liner can cost between £150 to £300, depending on the severity.

Intermediate Repairs

  • Repointing Brickwork: Over time, mortar joints can deteriorate, necessitating repointing to prevent water intrusion and structural damage. Repointing costs can range from £55 to £80 per square metre, with full chimney stack repointing generally costing between £500 and £1,000.
  • Replacing Damaged Bricks or Chimney Pots: The cost to replace damaged bricks or chimney pots generally includes a day rate for labour (around £150 to £250) plus the cost of materials.

Extensive Repairs and Replacements

  • Replacing Chimney Flashing/Leadwork: Proper flashing prevents water from seeping into the place where the chimney intersects with the roof. Replacement typically costs between £350 to £460, including materials and labour.
  • Installing or Replacing a Chimney Flue or Liner: Critical for protecting the masonry from heat and corrosion, a new flue or liner installation can cost between £800 and £1,500.
  • Complete Chimney Rebuild: This major repair is required if the chimney is structurally unsound. Partial rebuilds can cost from £600 to £2,000, while a complete rebuild might cost upwards of £3,000 or more, depending on the chimney’s height and complexity.

Other chimney & fireplace FAQs

Can a roofer fix a chimney?

Yes, some roofers are skilled in basic chimney repairs, especially related to the exterior and flashing, but more complex issues should be handled by a specialised chimney expert.

Can the inside of a chimney be fixed?

Yes, the inside of a chimney can be repaired or relined by qualified professionals to address issues like cracks or deterioration.

What is ‘flaunching’ on a chimney?

Flaunching is the mortar layer at the top of a chimney stack that holds chimney pots in place and provides weather protection.

Can an electric fireplace be fixed?

Yes, most issues with electric fireplaces, such as electrical faults or heating element problems, can be repaired by a qualified technician.
