Chimney Repair Services in Cambridge & Cambridgeshire
Chimney Repointing
Over time, mortar joints can crack or crumble. We repoint chimneys using strong, weather-resistant mortar to restore stability and prevent water ingress.
Lead Flashing Repairs
Faulty or worn lead flashing is one of the most common causes of chimney leaks. We repair or replace flashing so the surrounding roof stays watertight.
Chimney Pot Replacement
If your chimney pot is loose, damaged or unstable, we can replace it safely and securely.
Chimney Rebuilds
For chimneys that are heavily weathered or leaning, we rebuild or partially rebuild the structure to restore its strength and appearance.
Chimney Removal
If the chimney is no longer needed or has become a risk, we can remove it and repair the roof so it blends seamlessly with the existing tiles or slates.
Chimney Cowl Installation
A chimney cowl helps prevent downdrafts, improves airflow and keeps birds, debris and rain from getting into the flue. We install durable cowls that protect your chimney and keep it working safely and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions — Chimney Repairs in Cambridge
Here are some of the questions we’re often asked by homeowners across Cambridge and Cambridgeshire — hopefully they help, but if not, just get in touch and we’ll be happy to assist.
Common signs include damp patches near the chimney breast, missing mortar, cracked bricks, loose chimney pots or water marks around the stack. If you spot any of these, it’s worth getting it checked.
Yes — worn lead flashing, cracks in the masonry or gaps around the stack can all allow water to enter the roof space. Chimney leaks are one of the most common causes of damp in lofts and upper rooms. Fixing these issues early prevents larger, more expensive problems down the line.
Yes — Cambridge has a large number of Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian properties with original chimney stacks that require sympathetic repairs. We use appropriate lime mortar for repointing older chimneys rather than modern cement, which can cause further damage to aged brickwork. We take care to match materials carefully so repairs blend with the existing character of the property.
It depends on the height and condition of the chimney. Smaller repairs may not require scaffolding, but structural work or rebuilds usually do for safety.
Yes - if it’s redundant or causing ongoing issues, we can remove the chimney and repair the roof so it looks clean and consistent.
Yes, we provide free, no-obligation quotes for all chimney repairs and rebuilds across Cambridge.
Costs vary depending on the type and extent of the work needed. Basic repointing or a chimney pot replacement is typically a straightforward job, while a full chimney rebuild or removal involves more time and materials. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins — call 01223 258 150 or send us a message and we'll come back to you quickly.
Most straightforward chimney repairs — such as repointing, lead flashing replacement or chimney pot work — can be completed within a day. More complex jobs such as partial or full rebuilds will take longer and may require scaffolding to be erected first. We always give a clear timeline before work starts and keep you updated throughout.
