Chimney Repairs Across Coventry and Warwickshire
Chimneys take more weather than any other part of the roof, so they're usually the first place a leak starts. We've been repairing chimneys across Coventry, Leamington Spa, Warwick, Kenilworth and Solihull for over 25 years. We find the actual cause, fix it properly, and guarantee the work for 10 years.
Chimney Repairs
Damp on the chimney breast, stains on the ceiling, loose bricks or bits of mortar in the gutter all point to a chimney that's letting water in. We inspect the whole stack from the pots down to where it meets the roof, then repair whatever has failed, whether that's the pointing, the flaunching, the lead flashing or the bricks themselves. You get a clear explanation and a fixed price before any work starts.

Chimney Repairs in Leamington Spa
Leamington Spa is one of our most regular areas, and we travel there several times a week. Many of the Regency, Victorian and Edwardian houses around the town centre, Milverton, Lillington and Sydenham still have their original chimney stacks, often tall and carrying a row of pots. After well over a century of weather, the flaunching cracks, the pointing crumbles and the lead flashing lifts, and the first sign is usually a damp patch on a chimney breast or a stain on a bedroom ceiling. We repoint, reflaunch, reset pots and renew leadwork across Leamington, Whitnash, Cubbington and Radford Semele, matching the mortar to the original brickwork so the repair blends in.
Roofers in Leamington Spa →Chimney Repairs in Warwick and Kenilworth
Warwick and Kenilworth are both a short drive from our base in Berkswell. In Warwick, plenty of the older houses around the town centre, Emscote and Coten End still have their original brick stacks, and some sit within the conservation area, where a repair that matches the existing brickwork matters all the more. In Kenilworth it's usually the older homes around Abbey Fields and the town centre. The faults are the same in both towns: pointing that has crumbled, flaunching that has cracked around the pots, and lead flashing that has split or lifted where the stack meets the roof. We repoint, reflaunch, reset pots and renew leadwork, and if a stack has gone too far we can rebuild it or take it down below the roof line.
Roofers in Warwick →Chimney Repointing
Mortar between the bricks wears away over time, and once it's gone rain soaks straight into the stack. Repointing means raking out the old, crumbling mortar and replacing it with fresh mortar matched to the age and colour of your brickwork. Done properly, it keeps the chimney weathertight for decades and is far cheaper than a rebuild.
Chimney Flaunching and Pots
Flaunching is the sloped mortar at the top of the stack that holds the chimney pots in place and throws rain off the top. When it cracks, water gets into the stack and the pots can work loose, which is dangerous in high winds. We strip out the old flaunching, reset or replace the pots, and lay new flaunching to a proper fall.
Lead Flashing
The lead flashing where the chimney meets the roof tiles is the most common source of chimney leaks we see. Old lead splits, lifts or was never dressed correctly in the first place. We replace it with new code 4 or code 5 lead, stepped and dressed into the brickwork, so the joint between chimney and roof stays dry.
Book combined roof works →Chimney Rebuilds and Removal
- Rebuilds: If a stack is leaning, badly cracked or has too many spalled bricks to repoint, we take it down to sound brickwork and rebuild it, reusing matching bricks where we can.
- Removal: If you no longer use the chimney, removing it below the roof line and tiling over the gap ends the maintenance for good. We handle the structural checks and make good the roof.
Chimney Cowls and Caps
A cowl or cap keeps rain, birds and debris out of the flue while still letting it ventilate. On an unused chimney it's one of the simplest ways to stop damp coming down inside the house, and we can usually fit one at the same time as other chimney work.
