We carry out chimney repairs and rebuilding across Louth to keep brickwork sound and prevent water penetrating the roof. ### Mortar joint repointing Wind and rain cause chimney mortar to soften and wash away over time. We rake out deteriorated joints down to firm mortar and repoint the brickwork, keeping the structure intact and stopping damp penetrating the stack. ### Rebuilding deteriorated brickwork When brickwork splits or spalls due to frost, pointing alone cannot secure the stack. We take down loose or damaged courses of masonry and rebuild them with matching bricks to restore the chimney to a stable condition. ### Flashing repairs and roof junctions The seam where a chimney meets roof tiles or slates requires sound lead flashing to divert rainwater. We repair or replace torn, lifted or missing leadwork so rainwater flows safely into gutters rather than into the attic. ### Chimney pots and flaunching The cement cap at the top of a chimney holds the pots in position and sheds water away from the flues. We remove cracked flaunching, bed chimney pots securely in fresh mortar, and finish the top with a smooth weather shed. ## Chimney maintenance across Louth Properties throughout Louth feature varying chimney styles, from older town centre stacks to modern builds. We provide chimney repair work in Westgate, Kidgate, Queen Street and Lower Eastgate. ### Westgate properties Chimneys on traditional houses along Westgate often feature tall brick stacks that experience weathering over many decades. We examine the mortar beds, chimney pots and haunching to ensure the masonry remains sound without risking loose materials falling onto roofs or paths below. ### Kidgate brickwork repairs Older homes around Kidgate often require attention to exposed chimney stacks where rain has softened original pointing. We repair damaged mortar lines, replace fractured bricks and seal the joints to prevent moisture soaking directly through the stack into internal walls. ### Queen Street roofline junctions Properties in Queen Street rely on water-tight detailing where chimneys pierce pitched roofs. We examine and repair the lead flashing, apron and stepped flashings around the brickwork so rain cannot run down the chimney breast into the living areas. ### Lower Eastgate chimney assessments Around Lower Eastgate, we check the condition of chimney masonry and flashings on both residential and commercial buildings. We identify whether a stack needs repointing or partial rebuilding to restore structural stability. ## What happens during a chimney repair visit Every chimney job begins with a physical check of the stack, the surrounding roof covering and access requirements. We plan the work to address masonry damage directly at the roofline. ### Inspecting the stack We inspect the brickwork, mortar joints, chimney pots and flaunching at the top of the stack. This inspection confirms whether the masonry is merely weathered or if bricks have loosened and need rebuilding. ### Checking the roof junction We examine the flashing, soakers and surrounding slates or tiles where the chimney joins the roof. Identifying damaged lead or slipped tiles ensures water ingress around the base of the stack is completely addressed. ### Carrying out the repair Depending on what the stack requires, we rake out failing mortar, lay replacement bricks, repair or renew flashings, and ensure the chimney is clean and secure before packing away access equipment. ## Why choose New Look Building Services We handle roofing and structural masonry repairs with care, ensuring every property is left tidy.

Yes, if the bricks and overall structure remain solid, repointing alone is often sufficient. We rake out soft or crumbling mortar and apply fresh mortar. If bricks are spalling, cracked or loose, rebuilding the upper courses may be required. ### How do I know if water is coming from the chimney or the roof tiles? Damp near a chimney breast can originate from degraded mortar, defective lead flashing, cracked chimney flaunching, or slipped tiles around the stack. We inspect both the brickwork and the roof junction to trace the entry point before carrying out repairs. ### Is chimney sweeping included with chimney repairs? No, our service focuses on external building and roofing repairs. Sweeping, flue lining and appliance servicing are separate trade services and are not included in our chimney repair work. ### Can you repair lead flashing around the chimney? Yes, repairing or replacing lead flashing is an integral part of our chimney repair work. Defective flashing allows water straight beneath the roof covering, so we ensure the junction between brickwork and tiles or slates is properly weatherproofed. ### Can chimney work be combined with roof repairs? Yes, we regularly combine chimney repointing or rebuilding with roof tile repairs, valley maintenance, or complete reroofing. We assess the entire area and include the required masonry and roofing work in your project quote. ### Do you rebuild chimneys that are structurally unsafe? Yes, we dismantle unsafe brick courses down to sound masonry and rebuild the stack using matching bricks and mortar. We also reset chimney pots and apply fresh flaunching to stabilise the top of the stack. ## Chimney repair coverage around Louth We serve customers throughout Louth, including Westgate, Kidgate, Queen Street and Lower Eastgate, as well as surrounding towns across Lincolnshire with roofing and chimney services. ## Other roofing and building services in Louth In addition to chimney repairs, we carry out complete roof installations, slate and tile repairs, flat roofing, guttering, damp treatment, patios, driveways and exterior building work. - [Roofer in Louth](https://newlookbuildingservices.co.uk/louth): Roofing and building services in Louth from New Look Building Services.
