Finding builders who can help with many different jobs and the overall vision is hard. Igor and his team are excellent at exactly that! He was quick to quote and worked extremely hard to ensure the budget & end date was met. I will 100% be using him again for my kitchen/bathroom! If you need a company for any kind of work, Igor and his team are the one, no hesitation.

- Maintenance: Performing routine checks and maintenance tasks to extend the lifespan of your chimney and fireplace.
- Safety Upgrades: Installing or replacing chimney caps, crowns, and dampers to improve safety and functionality.

How much do chimney & fireplace repairs cost?
The cost of chimney and fireplace repairs can vary significantly based on the type of repair, the materials required, the accessibility of the chimney, and your geographic location. Here’s a more detailed look at potential costs:
Basic Maintenance and Repairs
- Chimney Sweeping and Cleaning: Regular cleaning is essential to prevent soot and creosote accumulation that can lead to chimney fires. Typical costs range from £50 to £200.
- Patching Cracks in the Flue: Minor repairs such as sealing small cracks or holes in the flue liner can cost between £150 to £300, depending on the severity.
Intermediate Repairs
- Repointing Brickwork: Over time, mortar joints can deteriorate, necessitating repointing to prevent water intrusion and structural damage. Repointing costs can range from £55 to £80 per square metre, with full chimney stack repointing generally costing between £500 and £1,000.
- Replacing Damaged Bricks or Chimney Pots: The cost to replace damaged bricks or chimney pots generally includes a day rate for labour (around £150 to £250) plus the cost of materials.
Extensive Repairs and Replacements
- Replacing Chimney Flashing/Leadwork: Proper flashing prevents water from seeping into the place where the chimney intersects with the roof. Replacement typically costs between £350 to £460, including materials and labour.
- Installing or Replacing a Chimney Flue or Liner: Critical for protecting the masonry from heat and corrosion, a new flue or liner installation can cost between £800 and £1,500.
- Complete Chimney Rebuild: This major repair is required if the chimney is structurally unsound. Partial rebuilds can cost from £600 to £2,000, while a complete rebuild might cost upwards of £3,000 or more, depending on the chimney’s height and complexity.
Other chimney & fireplace FAQs
Can a roofer fix a chimney?
Yes, some roofers are skilled in basic chimney repairs, especially related to the exterior and flashing, but more complex issues should be handled by a specialised chimney expert.
Can the inside of a chimney be fixed?
Yes, the inside of a chimney can be repaired or relined by qualified professionals to address issues like cracks or deterioration.
What is ‘flaunching’ on a chimney?
Flaunching is the mortar layer at the top of a chimney stack that holds chimney pots in place and provides weather protection.
Can an electric fireplace be fixed?
Yes, most issues with electric fireplaces, such as electrical faults or heating element problems, can be repaired by a qualified technician.

Started promptly but the job, expected to take just over a week, dragged on for over 6 weeks with repeated delays and requests for additional interim payments. Communication became poor and the work was left incomplete. I eventually had to hire another contractor to finish it, costing me an extra £1,450. Despite acknowledging the situation and promising to reimburse the additional cost, no payment has been made.
