Chimney Repair Experts in Aberdeen
Chimney stacks take the worst of the weather on any roof — fully exposed to wind, rain and frost from every side. Over time, mortar joints wash out, flashings lift and flaunching cracks, letting water track into bedrooms and chimney breasts below. Our Aberdeen chimney team repairs all of it, from small repointing jobs to complete rebuilds of weathered granite stacks.
Chimney Repointing
Weathered mortar joints let water soak into the chimney stack. We rake out and repoint with the right mortar mix, restoring both strength and weather resistance.
Lead Flashing Repairs
The junction between chimney and roof is a classic leak point. We repair and renew lead flashings so water is directed safely away from the stack.
Chimney Rebuilds
Badly weathered stacks can become unstable. We take down and rebuild chimneys to match the original, keeping the character of your Aberdeen property.
Chimney Removal
No longer using the chimney? We remove redundant stacks safely and make good the roof, giving you one less thing to maintain.
Cowls, Pots & Caps
We fit chimney pots, cowls and caps to keep rain and birds out while maintaining ventilation to the flue.
Chimney Inspections
Chimneys deteriorate out of sight. We inspect stacks, flaunching and flashings, and report honestly on their condition before problems reach your ceilings.

Got a question?
Chimney Repair — FAQs
How do I know if my chimney needs repointing?
Look for crumbling or recessed mortar joints, pieces of mortar in the gutters, and damp patches on chimney breasts inside the house. If you can see gaps between the masonry from the ground, the stack is overdue for attention.
Why is my chimney leaking?
The most common causes are failed lead flashing where the stack meets the roof, cracked flaunching around the pots, and porous or poorly pointed masonry. We inspect the whole stack to find the actual route the water is taking.
Can you remove a chimney I no longer use?
Yes. We remove redundant chimney stacks down to below roof level and make good the roof covering, or take them down fully as part of larger works — whichever suits your property.
Do you repair chimneys outside Aberdeen?
Yes — our chimney repair services cover Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Inverness, including Inverurie, Ellon, Banchory and Stonehaven.
