Repointing replaces the mortar between the bricks and is usually sufficient when the brickwork itself is sound. Rebuilding involves taking down and reconstructing some or all of the stack, and is needed when the masonry itself has become unstable, badly cracked or has bricks that are crumbling beyond repair. We'll always recommend the least invasive option that actually solves the problem.
Damp staining on a chimney breast is very often linked to failed flashing, cracked mortar or a deteriorating chimney cap rather than a problem with the fireplace itself. An inspection can usually identify exactly where water is getting in.
Most like-for-like chimney repairs, including repointing and repairs to existing flashing, don't require planning permission. Larger changes, particularly on listed buildings or in conservation areas, can be different, so it's worth checking if you're unsure, and we're happy to advise.
For non-urgent inspections we'll usually arrange a visit within a few days. For anything that looks unsafe, such as loose masonry or storm damage, our 24-hour emergency call-out team can respond much sooner.
