Chimney repairs and repointing with Coburn Roofing

Coburn Roofing repairs, repoints and rebuilds chimneys across Nottingham, Derby and Mansfield. Chimneys take the worst of the weather, so we renew crumbling mortar, re-flaunch the pots, replace failed lead flashings and rebuild or remove stacks that are beyond repair - stopping leaks and keeping the stack safe.

The chimney is the most exposed part of any roof, and it’s where a lot of leaks begin. Weathered mortar joints, a cracked flaunching (the mortar bed the pots sit in) and tired lead flashings all let water track down into the property.

We carry out the full range of chimney work - repointing eroded joints, re-flaunching and re-seating pots, renewing lead soakers and step flashings, fitting cowls, and rebuilding or safely removing redundant stacks. Older properties around Belper and Nottingham are a speciality.

FAQs

Chimney repairs and repointing - your questions answered

Why is my chimney leaking?

Usually it’s failed flashings, cracked flaunching or eroded pointing letting water in at the most exposed point of the roof. We identify exactly which and put it right, rather than just sealing over the symptom.

Do you repoint chimneys?

Yes. We rake out the old, weathered mortar and repoint with a suitable mix so the joints shed water properly and match the look of the existing brickwork.

Can you remove a chimney we don’t use?

Yes. We can take a redundant stack down (to roof level or fully) and make the roof good and watertight where it was, often reducing future maintenance.
