Repointing eroded mortar, rebuilding damaged stacks and re-flaunching chimney pots to stop a chimney becoming a leak point.
Chimney Repairs & Repointing in Beaulieu
Beaulieu customers looking for chimney repairs & repointing turn to Hampshire Roofing. A chimney stack sits fully exposed above the roofline, taking more weathering than almost any other part of the house, so its mortar joints erode over time, especially on stacks facing the prevailing weather. Repointing removes the failed mortar to a proper depth and replaces it with a mix suited to the age and type of the chimney — a hard cement-based mix on a soft older brick can trap moisture and cause worse damage than the erosion it was meant to fix. Where a stack has deteriorated further, individual courses of brickwork may need rebuilding, and the flaunching (the mortar fillet around the base of the chimney pots) is renewed to stop water tracking down inside the stack itself. A chimney is also where a roof most often leaks — the junction between the stack and the roof covering relies entirely on properly dressed leadwork, covered under leadwork and flashing. Beaulieu is one of the most tightly conservation-controlled villages in our whole coverage area — a historic estate village within the New Forest National Park where listed and period buildings, including some thatch, mean material choice is rarely a free decision. The tidal Beaulieu River running through the village down to the Solent also brings a genuine, if localised, coastal-weather element most New Forest villages further from water don't have.

Chimney Repairs & Repointing in Beaulieu — FAQ
Signs include mortar that has visibly crumbled or is missing between bricks, damp patches on a chimney breast inside the house, or loose brickwork on the stack itself. A survey can confirm the extent and whether repointing alone is enough or if rebuilding is needed.
A chimney stack is fully exposed above the roofline on all sides, so it takes far more direct weathering — rain, wind and frost — than walls that are partly sheltered by the building itself.
Chimney repointing and rebuilding is usually assessed and quoted separately from general roof covering repairs, since it's a different scope of work. We'll look at both together during a free survey and give you a clear, itemised quote.
