Chimney brick replacement in Fontainebleau, start to finish

Keeping the chimney's original bond pattern

Most chimneys are laid in a regular pattern of overlapping bricks. A replacement that breaks that pattern shows from the ground and can weaken the overlap that ties the wall together.

We follow the existing pattern when setting new units, including any headers or special courses. Where earlier repairs disrupted the pattern, we point that out and explain whether it matters for the new work. The aim is a repair that reads as part of the chimney, not as a patch.

The flue behind the brick being replaced

Replacing a unit in a chimney is not the same as replacing one in a garden wall. Behind the outer brick is the flue, and some chimneys have little space between the two. The work is planned so the liner is not disturbed.

If the damage reaches deep into the wall or the liner shows through, we stop and explain. Any flue repair is a separate item with its own method. Keeping the two apart on the estimate shows clearly which part of the chimney each repair addresses.

Using the fireplace during brick work

Brick replacement is outside work, but the mortar around new units is still curing for a while. Heat from a fire warms the masonry and can dry fresh joints faster than they should.

Before the work starts, we say whether to pause fires and when normal use can return. It depends on where the new units are and how close they sit to the flue. If an appliance vents into the chimney, tell us beforehand so its flue stays clear.

No brick is cut out before you approve

Brick replacement begins only after you approve the estimate. It lists the units, the replacement brick, the mortar and the price. Take the time you need, or ask for a second opinion.

Once you approve, we confirm the date and explain how the work will run. If removing a unit reveals more damage, we stop and show you before continuing. Nothing is added to the agreed work without your approval, however small it looks. The estimate you signed remains the reference for the whole job.

How does the inspection discount apply to brick replacement?

Say yes to the brick replacement within 72 hours after your free inspection and we take 10% off the services you book. Those hours run from your own inspection visit.

What if my chimney brick has been painted?

New brick can go into a painted chimney, but paint peeling away with the brick face may be trapping moisture. We explain whether the paint is part of the problem. Any refinishing decision is yours and is not part of brick replacement.

What if the damage turns out worse once bricks come out?

We stop and show you. If more units are loose or the damage runs deeper, we explain the options and price the added work before continuing. Nothing is added to the scope without your approval.
