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!

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

They said they would take almost all day, but then announced they'd finished after 90 minutes (allowing for 30 minutes when they went away to buy petrol). They hacked a hydrangea I asked them not to touch, left many weeds and fallen leaves, cut off the tops of shrubs without attempting any shaping, and left one tall shrub untrimmed. Then they charged me £350 for 90 minutes of work by two men and a boy.
