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.

Lee and his team worked incredibly hard and communicated well to let us know when they would be doing the work.

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

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.

He was super professional throughout the whole project, promptly responded to all my emails / texts and went above and beyond to make sure the job was to a high standard. I was a little hesitant because he doesn't have too many reviews (he explained most of his work comes from word of mouth), but I'm SO GLAD I DID. Will definitely call him for my next project!

Exterior decorating Looking after the outside of your property protects your biggest investment - it also makes the house your home. Proper care of woodwork and, where needed, masonry is a small job if it is done in time, but sometimes maintenance has to give way to repair. Our experienced workmen will take care to fully prepare your walls and external surfaces before painting to make sure that your property is well protected. Whether you are considering exterior decorating for aesthetic reasons or practical reasons - or both - we recommend careful choice of decorator and of materials. Rotten wood, for example, should be dealt with as quickly as possible. But UPVC replacements will never have the same feel of quality. INTERIOR DECORATING Making your home look beautiful depends on your choice of colours and finishes, but it is surprising how much difference the details make. Really well done decorating gives an immediate impression of quality. The difference between good decorating and poor decorating really depends on the preparation - putting in the work before the pain goes on. Good tradesmen know that, and it's something we look at closely when we're taking on a new decorator. You can rely on our tradesmen to do a proper job. We're always happy to give advice - when asked - about colour combinations and how to create the effect you want. We can probably offer you some ideas you might not have considered. ROOFING Need your guttering replaced or repaired? Give us a call. We can provide guttering to fit any type of property and we have a wide range of types and shapes in stock. We also offer a gutter cleaning and maintenance service – let us clean and seal all your existing guttering for you. Just speak to a member of the team today for a quick quote.
