Chimney Repairs and Repointing
Professional Chimney Repairs and Repointing to Keep Your Roof Safe and Sound
At DB Roofing and Building Maintenance, we offer expert chimney repairs and repointing across Whitley Bay and surrounding areas.

Keep Your Chimney Safe, Secure, and Watertight
Your chimney is one of the most exposed parts of your roof. Over time, high winds, frost, and general weathering can lead to cracked mortar joints, loose bricks, leaking flashing, or even structural instability. That’s where our chimney repointing and repair services come in — restoring strength, sealing gaps, and preventing leaks before they turn into costly damage.
DB Roofing and Building Maintenance handle everything from small repairs to full chimney rebuilds, always using quality materials and traditional methods that last.
Our Chimney Repairs and Repointing Services Include:
- Chimney repointing (removal and replacement of damaged mortar)
- Repair or replacement of damaged bricks and flaunching
- Installation and replacement of chimney cowls and caps
- Lead flashing repairs and replacements around chimneys
- Chimney stack rebuilds (partial or full)
- Removal of redundant chimneys if required
- Leak detection and prevention around the chimney base
- General chimney maintenance and safety checks
We also carry out cowl installations to help prevent water ingress, downdraughts, and nesting birds — especially important in older properties.

How to Know if Your Chimney Needs Repointing or Repair
Not sure if your chimney needs attention? Look out for these common signs:
Cracked or missing mortar joints
Loose or crumbling bricks
Water stains on ceilings or around the chimney breast
Rusty or missing chimney cowls
Visible gaps where flashing meets the roof
Leaning or unstable chimney stacks
Internal damp patches or musty smells
If you spot any of the above, it’s best to get it checked before the issue worsens.
