Old Malden Chimney Repair Solutions for Your Property
Old Malden has a good mix of older housing stock, and chimneys on these types of properties take a real beating over the years. Frost, rain, and wind all work away at the mortar and brickwork. Left too long, small problems turn into big ones.
We work across Old Malden and the surrounding area, carrying out repairs on all types of chimneys. Whether it is a single cracked brick or a stack that needs a full rebuild, we get the job done properly the first time.
What Our Old Malden Chimney Repair Services Providers Do
A damaged chimney does not fix itself. Cracks let in water. Loose mortar falls away. Flashing that has lifted lets rain into your roof and walls. The longer it is left, the worse the damage gets and the more it costs to put right.

Old Malden Chimney Repair Services Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my chimney needs repairing?
Look out for crumbling mortar, cracked or loose bricks, damp patches on your chimney breast inside, or flashing that has come away from the roof. Any of these are a sign that something needs attention.
Do you offer emergency chimney repairs in Old Malden?
Yes. If your chimney has been damaged and is unsafe, get in touch and we will get out to you as quickly as we can to make it safe and carry out the repair.
What causes chimney mortar to break down?
Frost is the main culprit. Water gets into small gaps, freezes, and forces the mortar apart. Over time this opens up bigger cracks and weakens the whole stack.
What is repointing and does my chimney need it?
Repointing means removing the old, worn mortar and replacing it with fresh mortar. If the joints between your bricks look hollow, dark, or crumbly, it is probably time to get it done.
Can you repair flashing around the base of the chimney?
Yes. We repair and replace lead flashing where the chimney meets the roof. This is one of the most common places for water to get into a property and it is worth sorting quickly.
Do you work on Victorian and Edwardian chimneys?
Yes. A lot of our work in Old Malden is on older properties. We use materials and methods that suit the age and construction of the building.
How long does a chimney repair take?
Most localised repairs take one to two days. Larger jobs like full stack rebuilds take longer. We will give you a clear timeframe before we start.
Will you need to use scaffolding?
In most cases yes. Safe access is important and we always work in a way that protects you, your property, and our team.
Can you repair a chimney in a conservation area?
Yes. We are familiar with the requirements in conservation areas and use appropriate materials and techniques to meet those standards.
Do you carry out repairs if the chimney is no longer in use?
Yes. Even if you do not use your chimney, it still needs to be structurally sound. We can repair or cap it off properly so it is not a problem.
What happens if the damage is worse than expected once you start?
We will stop and speak to you before doing anything extra. You will always know what is happening and what it is going to cost before we proceed.
Can water damage from a chimney affect my ceilings and walls inside?
Yes. When flashing fails or mortar cracks, water tracks down into the roof and walls. It can cause damp patches, staining, and damage to plaster and timbers if left too long.
Is it worth repairing an old chimney or should I just have it removed?
That depends on the condition and what you want to do with it. We can advise you honestly on whether a repair is the right option or whether removal makes more sense for your property.
Do you provide any kind of guarantee on chimney repair work?
Yes. We stand behind the work we carry out and provide guarantees on our repairs. We will talk you through what is covered before the job starts.
