At Capital Inspections, we provide expert chimney repair services designed to restore safety, stability, and long-term performance to your property. Chimneys are one of the most exposed parts of any home, facing harsh weather, constant temperature changes, and natural wear. Over time, this exposure can lead to cracks, loose bricks, damaged mortar, leaks, and structural weakness. Our specialist team offers reliable, high-quality chimney repair solutions that protect your home and prevent serious future problems.

A damaged or poorly maintained chimney can cause more than just cosmetic issues. It can lead to water penetration, damp patches, heat loss, instability, and potential fire hazards. That is why our chimney specialists carry out detailed inspections to identify the root cause of the problem and provide long-lasting repairs tailored to your property’s needs.

Our Chimney Repair Services

Chimney Repointing

Mortar joints between the bricks naturally erode over time due to weathering and heat. When mortar cracks or crumbles, water can easily penetrate the structure. We offer professional chimney repointing, removing old, damaged mortar and replacing it with a fresh, durable mix. Repointing strengthens the chimney, improves stability, and prevents moisture-related issues. Our team ensures all mortar work matches the existing brickwork for a clean and seamless finish.

Chimney Brickwork Restoration

Damaged or loose bricks can weaken your chimney’s structural integrity. We replace cracked, spalled, or broken bricks and restore the affected areas without altering the chimney’s original design. Our experienced bricklayers use high-quality materials and precise techniques to ensure the restored section blends perfectly with the rest of the structure.

Lead Flashing Repairs and Replacement

Lead flashing plays an essential role in preventing water from entering the roof where the chimney meets the tiles. Over time, flashing can crack, lift, or deteriorate, allowing rainwater to seep inside. At Capital Inspections, we repair and replace lead flashing using durable, weatherproof materials. Proper flashing installation ensures your roof and chimney stay watertight and protected from leaks.

Chimney Crown and Cap Repairs

The chimney crown and cap protect the top of your chimney from water, debris, and animal entry. When these components crack or become damaged, the chimney becomes vulnerable to moisture, which can lead to internal and external damage. We repair chimney crowns, install new caps, and ensure proper sealing to keep your chimney functioning safely and efficiently.

Chimney Rebuilding

In cases where the chimney is severely deteriorated or structurally unsafe, rebuilding may be necessary. Our team carries out partial or full chimney rebuilds using strong materials and proper construction methods. We ensure the new structure maintains the original style while meeting modern safety standards. A rebuilt chimney offers improved stability, better performance, and long-lasting durability.

Chimney Leak Detection & Repairs

Chimney leaks are common and can cause extensive damage if ignored. Whether the issue comes from faulty flashing, cracks, damaged bricks, or worn mortar joints, our specialists carry out a thorough inspection to locate the exact cause. We then apply the appropriate repair solution to ensure your chimney remains completely watertight.

Smoke Testing & Safety Checks

A properly functioning chimney is essential for ventilation and fire safety. We offer smoke tests and safety inspections to ensure there are no blockages, gaps, or issues affecting the chimney’s efficiency. If any problems are detected, we provide suitable repair recommendations to keep your property safe.

Signs Your Chimney Needs Repair

You may need chimney repairs if you notice:

• Cracked or loose bricks
• Crumbling mortar
• Water stains on walls or ceilings near the chimney
• Damp patches or mould around the fireplace
• Debris falling into the firebox
• Leaning or unstable chimney structure
• Rust on metal components
• Birds or pests entering the chimney
• Moisture inside the fireplace or loft

Ignoring these signs can lead to more severe structural damage, higher repair costs, and potential safety risks.
