Chimney Repairs Across Lewisham
A damp patch near a chimney breast is one of the most common calls we get, and it’s almost always down to one of two things: failed flashing at the roof junction, or deteriorating brickwork and pointing on the stack itself. Lewisham Roofers repairs both, across pitched roofs throughout Lewisham.
If the leak is active and causing damage inside right now, our emergency roof repairs service can get someone out quickly.

Our Chimney Repair Process
1. Full Assessment
We inspect the chimney stack, the flashing at the roof junction, and the surrounding tiles or slates, since problems in one area often affect another.
2. Clear Quote
You’ll get a straightforward quote for the repair needed, whether that’s flashing, repointing, or more extensive brickwork.
3. The Repair
Work is carried out using appropriate materials — typically lead for flashing and a matching mortar mix for repointing — so the repair lasts and doesn’t look out of place.
4. Final Check
We check the surrounding roof area is watertight and clear away all debris before we finish.
Why Choose Lewisham Roofers for Chimney Repairs?
Chimney work sits right at the boundary between roofing and brickwork, and it needs someone comfortable with both. Our team regularly repairs chimneys on Lewisham’s many Victorian and Edwardian terraces, where original stacks are common, as well as on newer properties. If a chimney has reached the point where repair no longer makes sense, we’ll say so honestly.
Chimney Repairs for Period Properties
Lewisham has a lot of Victorian and Edwardian housing, particularly around Blackheath and Brockley, much of it with original chimney stacks that need careful, sympathetic repair rather than a generic fix. We take that into account in both the materials we use and the approach we take.
Chimney Repairs Throughout Lewisham
We carry out chimney repairs for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Blackheath, Ladywell, St John’s, Lewisham and throughout the rest of Lewisham. Whatever the age or condition of the chimney, we take the same careful approach to every repair.
