Chessington Chimney Repair Solutions for Your Property
Chessington has a good mix of older housing, from post-war semis along Leatherhead Road to 1930s properties near Garrison Lane. Many of these homes have original chimneys that have taken decades of rain, wind and frost. Over time, mortar cracks, bricks loosen and flashing starts to fail.
West London & Surrey Roofing & Building Services has been handling chimney repairs across Chessington and the surrounding area for over 10 years. We know the types of properties here and the kind of damage they tend to develop. We sort the problem properly the first time.
What Our Chessington Chimney Repair Services Providers Do
A damaged chimney does not stay a minor issue for long. Rain gets into cracks, freezes in winter and pushes them wider. Damp works its way into the roof timbers and down into ceilings. What starts as a cracked pointing job can turn into a full rebuild if it is left alone.
Getting it fixed early is far cheaper than waiting. West London & Surrey Roofing & Building Services responds quickly to jobs across Chessington. We assess the damage, explain what needs doing and get the work done with no fuss.

Chessington Chimney Repair Services Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my chimney needs repairs?
Look out for crumbling mortar, loose or missing bricks, damp patches on your chimney breast inside, or lifting flashing where the chimney meets the roof. If you spot any of these, get it checked before it gets worse.
Do you offer emergency chimney repairs in Chessington?
Yes. If a storm has damaged your chimney or there is a safety risk from loose masonry, we can get to you quickly. We assess the damage and make the chimney safe as a priority.
What is repointing and does my chimney need it?
Repointing means replacing the mortar between the bricks. If the existing mortar is cracked, soft or falling out, the chimney is letting in water. Most older chimneys in Chessington need repointing at some point.
How long does a chimney repair take?
Most repairs take one to three days depending on how much work is needed. We will give you a clear timeframe before we start so you know what to expect.
Can you repair a leaning chimney stack?
Yes. A leaning stack needs sorting straight away as it is a structural and safety issue. We carry out the repairs needed to stabilise and secure the stack properly.
Do you work on older properties in Chessington?
Yes. A lot of the housing in Chessington dates from the 1930s onwards. We have plenty of experience working on these properties and use materials that are suited to how they were built.
What causes chimney flashing to fail?
Flashing fails when the lead lifts away from the brickwork or splits due to age and movement. This lets water in at the roof line and causes damp internally. It is one of the most common chimney problems we see.
Will you need scaffolding to repair my chimney?
In most cases yes. Safe access to the chimney is important and we set up scaffolding properly before starting any work. We factor this into the quote from the start.
Can you match the bricks if I need new ones?
We do our best to match existing brickwork as closely as possible. For older Chessington properties this can take a little more effort but we source reclaimed or matched bricks where we can.
Do chimney repairs affect the rest of my roof?
They should not if the work is done properly. We take care around the surrounding roof tiles and make sure everything is left in the same condition or better once the repair is done.
What is included in your chimney inspection?
We check the full stack from top to bottom, including the mortar, brickwork, flashing, pointing and any visible signs of movement or water damage. You get a clear picture of what needs doing.
Do you provide a warranty on chimney repair work?
Yes. We provide a warranty on our workmanship. The length depends on the type of repair carried out. We will confirm this before any work starts.
Can chimney damage cause problems inside the house?
Yes it can. Water getting into a damaged chimney can cause damp patches on chimney breast walls, staining on ceilings and in bad cases damage to roof timbers. Getting the chimney fixed stops this spreading further.
Do you carry out chimney repairs alongside other roofing work?
Yes. If you have other roof repairs needed at the same time, we can carry them out together. This saves on access costs and gets everything sorted in one visit.
