Flat conversions can also raise questions about shared roof responsibility.
Common Signs
- Crumbling, cracked or missing mortar between bricks (repointing needed)
- Damp patches on a chimney breast wall inside the property
- Loose or damaged flashing where the chimney meets the roof
- Leaning, cracked, or visibly deteriorating chimney stack
- Loose chimney pots or cracked chimney cap

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to stop using my fireplace if the chimney has a problem?
If you have any concerns about safety, it's best to stop using the fireplace or appliance and have the chimney inspected before continuing to use it.
How often does chimney repointing need doing?
This varies with exposure, materials and age, but many chimneys need repointing at some point over their lifetime as mortar naturally wears down faster than brickwork.
Can chimney work be done without full scaffolding?
Access methods depend on the height and condition of the chimney — a roofing professional would be able to advise on the safest and most practical approach for your property.
My roof is shared with next door — can I still submit an enquiry?
Yes. Use the description field to explain the situation, including whether the issue affects a shared or adjoining section of roof.
