Finding builders who can help with many different jobs and the overall vision is hard. Igor and his team are excellent at exactly that!

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.

The decking is sagging and moves every time you walk on it which we have to do to get out of the garden. The step also rocks when walked upon. The wood was left cracked in areas and there are some miss cuts. The concrete was undertaken during torrential rain and has resulted in constant dusting being trailed onto the decking and subsequently into the house. The concrete ran down the length of the driveway and cannot be removed. Phoned to complain 3 weeks ago and heard nothing further.

Had some work on our roof completed in May 2024. This was completed to a poor standard, which we only realised after problems. Michael did return to supposedly correct these issues. However, we still have a leak and parts of the flat roof are flaking off only a few months afterwards. Have tried numerous times to contact Michael with limited success. He is now completely avoiding contact either by phone or email and has failed to return and rectify the problems. Would not recommend or use again.
