We handle everything from repointing brickwork and replacing lead flashing around the base, to chimney pot repairs, capping, and full rebuilds if necessary.
At South West London Roofers, we provide comprehensive chimney repairs in South West London, ensuring your roofline remains safe, stable, and weatherproof. Chimneys are the most exposed part of your roof, constantly battling wind, rain, and freezing temperatures. Over time, this leads to cracked brickwork, loose mortar, and dangerous structural instability.
Whether you need minor repointing, new lead flashing, or a complete chimney removal, our family-run team brings over 40 years of experience to every project in Fulham, Chelsea, Battersea, and beyond.
We specialise in restoring chimneys on Victorian and Edwardian properties, using traditional techniques to maintain the character of your home while ensuring modern safety standards.
Crumbling mortar allows water to seep into your chimney breast, causing damp inside your home.
Repointing: We rake out old, decayed mortar and replace it with a fresh, weather-resistant mix to stabilize the stack.
Brick Replacement: We remove spalled (blown) bricks and replace them with matched reclaimed bricks to keep the repair invisible.
The “flaunching” is the cement cap on top of your chimney that holds the pots in place. If this cracks, water gets straight into the stack.
Flaunching Repairs: We strip away cracked cement and apply a new, waterproof concrete crown.
Pot Replacement: We supply and fit new chimney pots and cowls to prevent birds and rain from entering your flue.
The junction where the chimney meets the roof is a common spot for leaks. We install new Code 4 lead flashing (aprons, step flashing, and back gutters) to create a guaranteed watertight seal that lasts for decades.
If your chimney is no longer in use, leaning dangerously, or blocking a loft conversion, we offer a safe chimney removal service.
Partial Removal: Taking the stack down to below the roofline and tiling over it.
Full Removal: Removing the entire breast through the house (subject to structural calculations).
Making Good: We expertly tile or slate over the gap, leaving your roof looking seamless.
Safety First: Chimney stacks are heavy and dangerous if unstable. We use proper scaffolding and safety equipment to protect your property during work.
Heritage Experts: We understand the aesthetics of South West London homes and ensure all repairs blend perfectly with your existing architecture.
Leak Diagnosis: We are experts at tracing damp patches on chimney breasts back to the source—whether it’s the flashing, the brickwork, or the pots.
Fully Insured: All our work is covered by full public liability insurance and workmanship guarantees.
