Chimney Repointing and Flaunching Repairs
Chimney Repointing and Flaunching Repairs to Keep Your Roofline Safe and Watertight
At DB Roofing and Building Maintenance, we specialise in chimney repointing and flaunching repairs for homes across Whitley Bay and the surrounding areas. Your chimney is one of the most exposed parts of your property — and if the mortar or flaunching fails, it can quickly lead to leaks, damp, and structural issues. We provide expert repairs that protect your roofline and restore your chimney’s stability, all backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Why Chimney Repointing and Flaunching Is So Important
Over time, wind, rain and frost cause the mortar joints in chimney brickwork to crack, crumble or wash away. This can allow water into your roof space, weaken the brickwork, or even cause chimney pots to become loose. The flaunching — the sloped cement at the top of your chimney stack — is also vulnerable to wear and cracking. When flaunching fails, rainwater can leak directly into your roof, or chimney pots can shift and fall.
We remove damaged mortar and flaunching and replace it with durable, weather-resistant materials that restore your chimney’s integrity and help protect the rest of your home.
Our Chimney Repointing and Flaunching Repair Services Include:
- Removal of cracked or damaged mortar from chimney stacks
- Repointing of mortar joints between chimney bricks
- Rebuilding or repairing damaged flaunching around chimney pots
- Securing or refitting loose chimney pots
- Minor brick replacement or joint repairs
- Lead flashing inspection and integration with chimney base
- Moss removal and waterproofing options (on request)
- Full chimney inspection for additional damage or movement
- Clean, tidy finish and safe removal of old materials
Whether your chimney needs minor repointing or complete flaunching restoration, we’ll provide a safe, effective solution tailored to your property.
