Chimney repairs require clearing out at least 25mm of concrete from the joins with an angle grinder and then repointing. It is also a good idea to renew the concrete at the top of the chimney with a 3-1 concrete mix.

If Chimney access is easy, it may be sensible to renew the leadwork around the chimney if its over 40 years old or is showing indications of corrosion. Another job that could be performed at the same time is replacing, or re-bedding cracked or loose ridge tiles.

When restoring the leadwork near a chimney, there is often a back gutter constructed out of lead that needs repairing. Also, the lead soakaways which lie under the tiles and bend up against the chimney need restoring as well.
