Building Regulations Approved Document J requires that chimney flues serving active appliances are structurally sound and gas-tight. Failed mortar joints compromise both requirements — repointing restores structural integrity and prevents carbon monoxide leakage into habitable rooms.

Chimney mortar fails gradually. Here is how to tell when repointing is due.
When it is not the answer: Surface weathering on sheltered faces may not need immediate attention. Repoint when joints are recessed more than 5mm or damp is entering. Read the full guide.
Every joint checked from scaffold. Depth, condition and mortar type assessed.
Lime (NHL 3.5/5) for pre-1930 brickwork. Cement-lime for post-war. Never neat cement.
Failed mortar raked to 20mm min. Dust cleared, joints dampened.
New mortar pressed and tooled to flush or slightly recessed profile.
Lead flashings checked and repaired using the same scaffold access.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Standard stack (repoint only) | 1 day |
| Repoint + reflash | 1-2 days |
| Repoint + flaunching | 1 day |
| Multiple stacks (terraced) | 2-3 days |
Lime mortar needs above 5C to cure. We avoid repointing in frost periods.
Scaffold tower to chimney level is standard. Scaffold is specified for: all chimney repointing — safe access at chimney level essential for quality work - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Victorian terraces across Fulham, Kilburn and Willesden mean rear-access scaffold and pavement permits on busy residential streets. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through the relevant borough council; allow a few working days on streets like Fulham Palace Road, Kilburn High Road, King Street Hammersmith, Askew Road where space is tight.
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Repointing — standard stack | £350-£650 | Lime or cement-lime |
| Repointing + reflashing | £600-£1,100 | Combined — saves scaffold |
| Flaunching renewal | £200-£400 | Mortar cap around pots |
| Cowl fitting | £80-£180 | Per pot, supplied + fitted |
| Capping (disused flue) | £150-£350 | Ventilated cap, pointed |
