When a rebuild is worth it
If the stack is leaning, has stepped cracks, or the brick faces are spalling badly — repointing won't fix it and you'll be back in a couple of winters. A rebuild done properly should outlive the rest of the roof.
FAQs
Can I just have the chimney removed?+
Yes — if it's redundant (no fire, no stove, no plans), capping below the roof line is often the cheapest long-term solution. £900–£1,800 typically, never a flashing problem again.
Is scaffold always needed for chimney work?+
For anything other than the very smallest one-pot stack, yes. Anyone quoting chimney work off ladders is taking a risk we wouldn't take.
