It depends on the size of the stack, its height and how much access equipment is needed to reach it safely. As a very rough guide, simple repointing on an easily accessible chimney often starts from a few hundred pounds, but the only reliable figure comes from seeing the chimney in person. We offer free, no-obligation inspections and quotes in Kingsweston so you know exactly what you're paying for before any work starts.
Watch for a stack that looks like it's leaning, cracks running through several courses of brick, mortar that's crumbling away in handfuls, or bricks and pieces of the crown that have fallen onto the roof or into the garden. Loose chimney pots and daylight visible through the stack from inside the loft are also warning signs. If you notice any of these, it's best to get it looked at promptly, and we offer 24-hour emergency call-out for anything that seems urgent.
Yes. Capping a chimney stops rain and birds getting into the flue, but the brickwork, pointing and flashing around it are still exposed to the weather and can deteriorate just like an active chimney. It's worth having a disused stack checked periodically, particularly if you notice damp patches on the chimney breast inside the house.
Not always, but it's common on taller properties. Where scaffolding is required, it's included and explained clearly in your quote before work begins, so there are no surprises.
