We take out crumbling mortar, prepare the joints, and repoint the brickwork to stop water entering the masonry core. ### Chimney brickwork and partial rebuilds Loose courses, spalling bricks, and cracked mortar beds can destabilise an entire chimney. We dismantle damaged brick courses down to sound masonry and rebuild the stack using matching materials. ### Lead flashing renewal and roof junctions Water running down internal walls often originates at cracked lead soakers or loose step flashing around the base of the chimney. We replace deteriorated leadwork and dress it securely into the roof tiles or slates. ### Chimney pot securing and flaunching Cracked mortar flaunching around chimney pots allows moisture into the top of the stack and loosens the pots. We remove loose cement flaunching, bed the pots securely, and finish the top surface to shed rainwater away from the flue. ## Chimney maintenance across Grimsby neighbourhoods Properties across Grimsby range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces with shared stacks to modern detached houses with dedicated flues, all requiring appropriate chimney care. ### Older brick stacks in East Marsh and West Marsh Terraced houses in East Marsh and West Marsh often have tall brick chimneys exposed to coastal winds. We repair cracked mortar beds, replace damaged bricks, and check flashings where shared stacks meet adjoining roofs. ### Suburban properties in Scartho and Weelsby Houses in Scartho and Weelsby frequently feature prominent external brick chimneys. We inspect the stack masonry, assess the condition of the flaunching at the pots, and replace worn lead flashings against the roof slope. ### Residential roofing in Old Clee and Nunsthorpe Homes across Old Clee and Nunsthorpe have varied roof coverings, from traditional slate to modern interlocking concrete tiles. We ensure all chimney brick repairs and flashings align neatly with the existing roof materials. ## What happens during a chimney repair inspection We assess the chimney stack and surrounding roof coverings from the ground and roof level to determine the necessary building and leadwork repairs. ### Assessing brickwork and mortar condition We check the chimney stack for spalling faces, vertical cracks, and crumbling mortar joints. This inspection determines whether the stack requires straightforward repointing or partial dismantling and rebuilding. ### Checking lead flashing and roof tiles We examine the lead step flashing, apron, and back gutter surrounding the chimney base. We also inspect the adjacent tiles or slates to confirm that roof coverings around the chimney remain sound. ### Surveying chimney pots and flaunching We look at the condition of the cement flaunching at the top of the stack and ensure each chimney pot is stable. Any loose cowls or cracked mortar caps are noted for replacement. ## Reasons to choose New Look Building Services We handle both the brick masonry and the surrounding roofing elements, ensuring that your chimney stack and roof junction are repaired together without needing separate contractors. ## Recent chimney and roofing projects Our recent work includes rebuilding damaged brick chimney stacks, installing new lead flashings against slate and tiled roofs, and renewing worn cement flaunching on residential properties. ## Frequently asked questions about chimney repairs Here are practical answers to common questions about chimney repointing, stack rebuilding, and flashing work in Grimsby. ### Do you rebuild chimneys as well as repair mortar joints? Yes. We carry out both chimney repairs and rebuilding work. If the brickwork is unstable or cracked beyond simple repointing, we dismantle the damaged masonry down to a sound course and rebuild the stack. ### Can chimney pointing be repaired on its own? When the underlying bricks and structural stability of the stack remain intact, deteriorated joints can be raked out and repointed without dismantling the chimney. ### Could an internal damp patch be caused by chimney flashing instead of bricks? Yes. Split, slipped, or poorly dressed lead flashing is a common cause of water ingress around a chimney breast. During an inspection, we check both the masonry and the flashing details. ### Is chimney sweeping included with your repair service? No. Our chimney work focuses strictly on external masonry, repointing, flaunching, and roofline flashings. We do not carry out chimney sweeping, flue relining, or fireplace appliance maintenance. ### Can you carry out chimney work while replacing a roof? Yes. We provide complete roofing services alongside chimney repairs. If your property is undergoing a reroof, repairing the stack and installing new lead flashing at the same time is straightforward to coordinate. ### What happens if my chimney pots are loose? We remove the deteriorated mortar flaunching at the top of the stack, inspect the pots, rebed them securely into fresh mortar, and build a new flaunching slope to direct water away from the flues. ## Chimney repairs across Grimsby and surrounding postcodes We carry out chimney repairs by arrangement across Grimsby, covering postcodes DN31, DN32, DN33, and DN34, including Scartho, Nunsthorpe, East Marsh, West Marsh, Weelsby, and Old Clee. ## Related roofing and building services Alongside chimney repairs, we undertake full pitched roof renewals, flat roofing installations, guttering replacements, and damp treatments for residential and commercial buildings. - [Roofer in Grimsby](https://newlookbuildingservices.co.uk/grimsby): Roofing and building repairs in Grimsby, DN31 to DN34, from New Look Building Services.
