Expert RooferVerified memberWater marks on the ceiling or loose bricks high above your roofline are not problems to ignore. A small fault at the chimney can turn into a costly leak, so it pays to act early.
Roofing SOS Ltd is a family-run roofing company providing professional chimney repair London homeowners, landlords and property managers can rely on. Our team brings more than 20 years of combined hands-on roofing experience to every job. We inspect the chimney and surrounding roof carefully, identify the true cause of the problem and carry out a lasting repair.
A chimney takes a beating from rain, wind and frost. Over time, small cracks turn into leaks and loose masonry. We offer London chimney repair services for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Here are the main jobs we handle.
Mortar is the “glue” between your bricks. When it crumbles, rain gets in and the bricks weaken. Chimney repointing London customers ask about means removing the loose mortar and filling the gaps with a suitable new mix. We also replace cracked or flaking bricks. We match the mortar to your existing brickwork, which matters on older London homes.
Lead flashing seals the join between your chimney and your roof. If it lifts, cracks or splits, water runs straight in. This is one of the most common causes of leaks. Our chimney flashing repair London service covers small repairs and full replacement. We also check the step flashing and soakers around the stack.
The stack is the part of the chimney above your roof. If it leans, cracks or loses bricks, it needs attention quickly. We repair sound stacks and carry out partial or full chimney stack rebuilding when repair is not enough.
Flaunching is the sloped mortar that holds your chimney pots in place and sheds water. We repair cracked flaunching and replace damaged pots. We also fit cowls and caps to keep out rain, birds and debris.
Chimney problems often start small. Spot them early and you can save money. Look out for these warning signs:
Damp patches on the ceiling or chimney breast
Water coming in around the chimney after rain
These are warning signs, not proof of one exact fault. We always check the cause before we suggest a repair.
We only use materials that are built to last. Our leadwork, cement mortar, and roofing felt are all top quality. Whether we carry out a small chimney repair or a bigger roof restoration job, we never cut corners on materials.
Our team of professional roofers has fixed chimneys on hundreds of London homes. We train to high roofing standards and follow all Health and Safety Executive (HSE) rules on every job. You get skilled hands working on your home, not guesswork.
We cover Central London, North London, South London, East London, and West London. Our teams move fast so you are not left waiting with a broken chimney in wet weather. We also offer same-day roof repair for urgent cases.
We give you a clear, fair quote before any work starts. No surprises. No hidden costs. Just a straight price for the repair you need. We think every homeowner deserves honest pricing and full openness.
We keep things simple and clear at every step.
Many chimneys show signs of trouble but hide the real cause. We look deeper. We check the roof flashing, chimney pot, stack brickwork, and the area around the roof ridge and eaves. Once we find the real problem, we fix it the right way. That helps your repair last longer.
We start with a full roof inspection of your chimney and the roof around it. Our roofers use safe equipment to check every part of your chimney and roof. We look for cracked bricks, loose mortar, broken flashing, missing tiles, and signs of water damage.
Once we see the problem, we get to work. All repairs follow building regulations and roofing standards. We use the right tools for every repair. This helps us do clean, careful work that lasts for years. Roof repointing, leadwork repair, chimney flashing repair, and brickwork fixes all happen in one visit where we can.
Before we leave, we do a full quality check. We look at every part we worked on, test for leaks, and make sure the chimney is solid and safe. We only leave when we are fully happy with the result.
A leak near your chimney can feel confusing. The damp patch may sit far from the real problem. The usual causes are:
Sometimes the chimney is not at fault at all. Slipped tiles or worn roof coverings nearby can cause the same leak. If that is the case, we can arrange tiled roof repair London work at the same visit. That is why we look at the whole area, not just the visible stain. A quick patch on the symptom often fails, and then the leak returns.
Most people hope for a simple repair. Often that is all you need. We will tell you honestly if a rebuild makes more sense.
Repair is often enough when the damage is local. Examples include a patch of bad mortar, one failed flashing or a few weak bricks.
Bricks are damaged across much of the stack
We never push a rebuild you do not need. If we suspect serious movement, we may advise a structural assessment first. We explain the cost and expected lifespan of each option, so you can choose with confidence.
We keep our process simple and clear:
1. Inspect We check the chimney, brickwork, pots and roof junction.
2. Find the cause We trace the source of the leak or damage.
3. Explain your options We show you what we found in plain words.
4. Quote You get a free, written quotation with upfront pricing.
5. Repair We complete the agreed work to a high standard.
6. Check We do a final inspection and talk you through the finished job.
We also clear away waste and leave your property tidy.
Every chimney is different, so we do not guess prices. Your quote depends on:
Whether you need a repair or a rebuild
A small repair costs much less than a rebuild. We give free quotations with clear, upfront pricing. Your written quote shows exactly what the work covers, so there are no nasty surprises.
Working on chimneys means working at height. We take that seriously. We plan every job, assess the risks and use scaffolding or suitable access equipment where the job needs it. We also guard against falling masonry.
