Chimney repairs in Hertfordshire for stacks that leak, crumble or lean, up to a full rebuild. Ring Kieran on 07310 120341 or send the form for a free written quote, with no call-out fee.
Chimneys take more weather than any other part of the roof. The mortar between the bricks washes out, the flaunching round the pots cracks and lets water down inside the stack, and the lead where the chimney meets the roof lifts or splits. The result is a damp patch on the chimney breast that grows every winter.
We repoint stacks, rebuild flaunching, refit or replace pots and cowls, cap chimneys you no longer use, and renew the lead round the base. When a stack is leaning or the brickwork has gone too far, we take it down and rebuild it.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces in St Albans and Watford share their stacks on the party wall, and so do plenty of 1930s semis across Hertfordshire. Work on a shared chimney affects next door, so we talk it through with you before anything starts. A recent Stevenage job on our Instagram shows a roof re-slated round its chimney.

Repair or rebuild, with access and scaffold in the price.
Repointing, flaunching, lead or a full rebuild.
Finished stack checked, site cleared, work guaranteed.
A damp chimney breast starts outside. We fix the stack, not the plaster.
Across Hertfordshire, repointing and new flaunching on a standard stack runs about £500 to £1,500 including access. New lead round a chimney runs about £400 to £900, and rebuilding a stack above the roof about £1,500 to £4,000. Kieran's free written quote gives you the real figure.
For most stacks, yes, or a chimney access platform. It is on your written quote, so there are no surprises.
Shared stacks are common on Hertfordshire terraces and semis. We talk it through with you, and with your neighbour where needed, before work starts.
Yes. Capping and venting it keeps the water out and the flue dry. Taking a stack down is a bigger job, quoted on its own.
Water is getting in at the top or the base: cracked flaunching, open mortar joints or failed lead flashing. Fix the outside first, then let the plaster dry out.
Excellent repair work complete by KR & Sons Roofing. Good communication throughout and work completed in a timely manner. Work finished below the quoted estimate. Highly recommended and trustworthy company.
