Chimney repair costs depend on several factors, including:
• The size of the chimney
• Access to the roof
• The height of the building
• The extent of the damage
• Whether the job involves a minor repair or rebuilding
Scaffolding can also affect the price. Chimneys on taller buildings or those with restricted access may require more extensive access equipment.
Common chimney repairs typically cost £100-£1,200, depending on the work involved. More substantial jobs, such as partial or full chimney rebuilding, can cost £1,000-£10,000.
Some work may be priced by area, while other jobs are quoted at a fixed rate.

Before hiring someone for chimney work, there are several things worth checking.
• Previous Work: Ask about similar chimney repairs and request examples of completed jobs.
• Flues and Heating Appliances: Check whether Gas Safe registration, Building Regulations compliance or certification is required.
• Working at Height: Ask how the chimney will be accessed and what equipment is needed.
• Scaffolding: Check whether scaffolding is required and included in the quote.
• Public Liability Insurance: Check that the tradesperson has suitable insurance.
• Reviews: Read customer reviews and look at previous chimney repairs.
• Chimney Inspection: Ask whether an inspection is needed to identify leaks or structural damage.
• Proposed Repairs: Ask what needs repairing, why and what the quotation includes.
A chimney specialist carries out work on chimney structures and components, including brickwork, mortar joints, flashing, chimney pots, cowls and stacks. The work may involve repairs, repointing, rebuilding or removal.
Common signs include damp patches, leaks, loose bricks, crumbling mortar, damaged flashing and missing chimney pots.
A leaning chimney or visibly unstable brickwork may indicate a more serious structural problem that needs prompt assessment.
Common chimney repairs typically cost £100-£1,200, depending on the type of work, access and materials. Partial or full chimney rebuilding can cost approximately £1,000-£10,000.
Scaffolding and additional structural work may increase the price.
This depends on the chimney's condition, whether it's still in use and the cost of repairing it. Minor damage may be suitable for repair, while extensive structural deterioration could make rebuilding or removal worth considering.
Chimney removal can involve structural, planning or Building Regulations considerations, so the work should be assessed before proceeding.
Not every chimney repair requires scaffolding.Depending on the roof height, access and work involved, other suitable access equipment may be used.
The contractor should assess the job and choose an appropriate method of working at height.
Most minor chimney repairs, such as repointing, replacing flashing or fitting a chimney cowl, can be completed within a day.
Larger repairs or chimney rebuilding may take several days, depending on the extent of the damage, weather conditions and access requirements.
