Protecting Your Home: Why Chimney Repointing Matters in Spalding
Your chimney stands tall, often the most exposed part of your roof, constantly battling the British weather. Over years of relentless wind, rain, and frost, the mortar between your chimney bricks can start to crumble. This isn't just an aesthetic issue; failing mortar joints allow water to seep into your brickwork, leading to damp inside your home, deteriorating chimney stacks, and even structural problems. For homeowners across Spalding, Peterborough, and wider Lincolnshire, addressing these issues promptly with professional chimney repointing is vital. It’s about keeping your home dry, safe, and maintaining its value.
What Exactly Is Chimney Repointing? A Closer Look
Chimney repointing is the process of carefully removing deteriorated mortar from the joints between the bricks and replacing it with fresh, high-quality mortar. Think of it like giving your chimney a new lease of life. Our skilled team meticulously rakes out the old, failing material, ensuring a clean and stable surface. Then, we apply new mortar, carefully matching the original style and colour where appropriate, especially for period properties in areas like Stamford or Bourne. This creates a durable, weather-tight seal that protects your chimney stack and your home for many years to come. It's a precise task that demands experience and the right techniques to get right.

Answers to common questions about our Chimney Repointing Services
Why Choose Foster and Son Roofing Services?
As a family-run business with deep roots in the Spalding and Peterborough communities, our reputation is built on every job we do. When you choose Foster and Son, you’re not just hiring a contractor; you’re partnering with a team that genuinely cares about protecting your home.
What are the signs my chimney needs repointing?
The most obvious signs are visible gaps in the mortar between the bricks, or crumbling, sandy mortar that falls out when touched. You might also notice damp patches on the chimney breast inside your house, or find bits of cement in your fireplace or on the ground outside. A professional inspection is the best way to be sure.
What exactly is chimney repointing?
Repointing is the careful process of removing the old, decayed mortar from between the bricks of your chimney stack and replacing it with a fresh, durable mortar mix. It’s not just a cosmetic fix; it’s a vital maintenance task that restores the structural integrity of your chimney and, most importantly, keeps it watertight.
Why is a well-maintained chimney so important?
Your chimney is one of the most exposed parts of your home, and a source of many roof leaks. Proper maintenance and repointing prevent water from getting into your loft space and causing rot and damp. For those with a wood burner or open fire, a sound chimney is also a critical part of the flue system’s overall safety and efficiency.
How long does chimney repointing last?
When done properly by experienced professionals like us, using the correct materials for your property, a repointing job should last for many, many years. The lifespan depends on the location and the level of weather exposure, but it's a long-term repair, not a short-term patch.
Can you also repair the lead flashing around my chimney?
Yes, absolutely. In fact, most chimney leaks are caused by failing lead flashing rather than the brickwork itself. As part of our comprehensive chimney repair services, we always inspect the leadwork and can repair or fully replace it to ensure a completely watertight seal between the chimney and your roof.
Do you offer chimney sweeping or stove installation?
While our specialism is the external structure of the chimney – the brickwork, pots, and flashing – we understand how the whole system works together. A key part of fireplace safety is a clean flue. We can recommend a local, qualified chimney sweep. If you are considering a new wood stove installation, it's vital to use a HETAS-registered installer to ensure it complies with all safety regulations.
