Chimney Repointing Services

Pepper Roofing specialises in chimney repointing services to keep your chimney safe and sturdy. Over time, the mortar holding your chimney’s bricks together can deteriorate due to weather exposure and natural wear. If not addressed, this deterioration can become a safety hazard and lead to expensive repairs.

Chimney repointing involves removing the damaged or decayed mortar between the bricks and replacing it with new mortar. This process restores the structural integrity of your chimney, extending its lifespan and reducing the risk of collapse.

Repointing also prevents moisture from seeping through gaps, protecting your home from leaks and dampness.

A well-maintained chimney ensures that smoke and gases exit your home properly. Damaged mortar can allow these harmful substances to seep into your living spaces. Additionally, moisture entering through cracks can cause internal damage, mould growth, and decreased energy efficiency.

Regular chimney repointing safeguards your home and health.

• Cracks in the Mortar: Visible gaps or cracks between the bricks.
• Flaking Mortar: Mortar that crumbles easily when touched.
