Frequently Asked Questions

Chimney repointing involves carefully removing deteriorated or cracked mortar between brick joints and replacing it with fresh mortar. This restores structural integrity, prevents water infiltration, and helps maintain safety and longevity.

Look for signs like discoloured or flaking mortar, spalling bricks, cracked chimney crowns, or wallpaper that’s yellowing or damp near the fireplace. These are common indicators of water seeping through old mortar.

We typically use durable Type N mortar, which combines cement, lime, and sand—offering strength, flexibility, and longevity for standard repointing jobs.

Standard chimney repointing can often be completed within 1–2 days, depending on the size and condition of the chimney.
