Chimney brickwork and flashing repairs in Grimsby
New Look Building Services North Ltd offers chimney repairs in Grimsby, including repointing, damaged brickwork, lead flashing, chimney pots and rebuilding where required.
Weathered brickwork and leaking roof junctions
- Chimney repairs can concern the masonry itself or the junction where the stack meets the roof. Our chimney work covers repointing, rebuilding, brick repairs, lead flashing and chimney pots. Tell us about visible deterioration and any indoor leak, without assuming both signs necessarily have the same cause.
- Describe crumbling joints, damaged bricks or fragments noticed around the property.
- Mention visible gaps or earlier repairs where the roof meets the chimney.
- Include photographs of the top of the stack where these can be taken safely.
Define the external chimney work
A chimney quotation should identify the masonry, flashing and upper stack components involved, and separate local repairs from partial or full rebuilding.
Details to discuss
- Repointing or damaged brickwork
- Chimney to roof flashing details
- Pots and external stack condition
Separate scope to establish
- Appliance servicing or commissioning
- Flue safety certification or sweeping
What to share before a chimney assessment
The chimney position and roof layout affect access. Include an outside view of the stack, a description of the concern and any information about previous chimney or roof junction repairs.
- 01
Stack position
Explain whether the chimney is at the ridge, on an external wall or shared with another property.
- 02
Visible signs
Show damaged mortar, brickwork or flashing without climbing onto the roof.
- 03
Associated water ingress

Chimney repairs quotations
Chimney height, roof access, the condition of bricks and mortar, and the extent of flashing or rebuilding affect the quotation.
- Each job is quoted after assessing the property and the work required.
- Materials are included in the quote.
Review the proposed chimney repair
The quotation should distinguish work to the brickwork from work to the flashing and roof covering. Rebuilding should be described by the portion of the chimney involved.
- Masonry scope
- Check which joints or bricks require repair or rebuilding.
- Weathering details
- Identify the proposed work around the chimney to roof connection.
- Work boundaries
- Keep external building repairs separate from any appliance or flue assessment.
Separate masonry from the roof junction
Brickwork, mortar and lead flashing have different repair scopes even when they concern the same chimney.
Chimney masonry and flashing examples
