Chimney Rebuilding in Bordon

Chimney rebuilding in Bordon for stacks that are past repointing. When brick faces have blown, the mortar has gone or the stack has started to lean, taking it down and rebuilding is the safe and lasting answer.

When a Rebuild Beats a Repair

Once bricks are crumbling rather than just the joints, there is nothing solid left to point into. A leaning stack or loose courses near the top are a safety issue as much as a leak. Rebuilding gives you a sound chimney rather than another repair in two years.

Matching the Existing Brickwork

We source bricks to match the house as closely as possible, in colour, size and texture. Where the original brick is no longer made, reclaimed brick often gives the best result. The aim is a rebuilt stack that looks like it has always been there.

Rebuilding Above or Below the Roofline

Most rebuilds are above the roof line, where the weather does the damage, and take the stack back down to a sound course. Occasionally the problem runs lower and we take it further. New flaunching, pots, a tray and fresh lead flashing all go back as part of the work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does chimney rebuilding take in Bordon?

Rebuilding a stack above the roof line usually takes two to four days once scaffolding is up, depending on the size and how far down we have to go. Mortar needs time to set, so we do not rush it. A full rebuild lower into the roof takes longer.

Is a leaning chimney dangerous?

It can be. A lean usually means the mortar on one side has failed and the courses are no longer bedded evenly. High wind on a weakened stack is a real risk. If you can see a lean from the ground, get it looked at rather than waiting for the next storm.

Can you rebuild a chimney and keep it usable?

Yes. If you still use the fireplace we rebuild with the flue intact, fit a proper tray, new flaunching and pots, and leave it ready for a sweep to check. If the chimney is no longer used we can cap it or fit a vented cowl instead.
