Chimney Repair and Removal Services in Cumbria
Your chimney is constantly exposed to Cumbria’s harsh weather, rain, wind, frost and changing temperatures all take their toll. Over time, brickwork can crack, mortar can crumble and flashing can fail, leading to leaks, damp and even structural hazards. Left untreated, chimney problems can quickly spread to your roof and interior walls.

Frequently Asked Questions about Chimney Repairs in Cumbria
Should unused chimneys be capped?
Yes, capping an unused chimney is highly recommended. It helps prevent heat loss, stops debris from falling in, and keeps birds or other animals from getting trapped inside.
How often should chimneys be repointed?
Chimneys, especially older ones, should generally be inspected every 25–30 years. Over time, the mortar between the bricks and around chimney pots can weaken due to weather exposure, making repointing necessary to maintain stability.
When does a chimney need rebuilding instead of repointing?
If only certain areas show damage, repointing is usually sufficient. However, if large sections of the chimney stack are deteriorating or if the structure has become unsafe, a rebuild may be required.
What’s involved in chimney repointing?
Repointing involves carefully removing old, damaged mortar and replacing it with fresh mortar. When carried out correctly, this process strengthens the chimney and can extend its lifespan by another 25–30 years.
Do you supply and fit chimney cowls?
Yes, we install chimney cowls. They are an effective way to prevent birds from nesting in your chimney and to stop rain or debris from entering.
