Rebuilding from sound masonry upward
Rebuilding only the part above the roof
The section above the roof takes the most weather, so it is usually the first to fail. A partial rebuild takes that section down to sound masonry, often at or just below the roof line, and relays it.
The masonry below stays in place when it is sound. That keeps the work smaller and usually leaves the interior undisturbed. We explain where the rebuild would start and how the new work joins the old. We also say what the finished top will include, so you can compare it with other options.
Protecting the roof during removal
Taking masonry down means heavy material moving above the roof covering. Dropped brick, tool marks and foot traffic can crack or scuff some coverings.
We plan how the masonry comes down and where it goes, protect the roof around the chimney and keep traffic to set routes. Let us know the roofing material and any spots that are already cracked or loose. Any roofing that must be lifted is named on the estimate, along with who resets it. If the covering is easily damaged, we may suggest the roofer lifts and resets it.
All debris hauled away
A rebuild creates a large amount of debris: old brick, broken mortar, crown pieces, old flashing and packaging. We clean up as the work goes and haul it all away when the job is done.
Brick chips in gutters, dust on sills and mortar on paving are cleaned before we leave. Tell us about areas that need extra care, such as planted beds or a pool deck, so protection is planned before removal begins. Nothing from the old chimney is left in your bins or on the curb for you to deal with.
A bulge in the chimney face
A face that bulges outward means the masonry has moved out of line. The brick industry lists masonry pushed out of plane among the signs of a structural problem, not routine wear.
A bulging section cannot be pushed back into place, and repointing it only fills its joints in the wrong position. We explain how far the bulge extends and whether rebuilding that section, and assessing its cause, is needed. Keep clear of the area below in the meantime. The estimate records where the bulge sits and how far it runs.
Items in a rebuild above the roofline
- Sound original brick cleaned for reuse
- Rain cap fitted to the flue
- Shoulders laid to shed water
- Sample panel for brick and mortar
Asked often about chimney rebuilds
Does the rebuild include a new crown and cap?
A rebuilt top normally gets a new crown, sloped with a drip edge and a bond break around the flue lining. A rain cap is fitted or refitted to suit the flue, and both appear on the estimate.
What does the workmanship warranty cover on a rebuild?
It stands behind the rebuild work we agreed and completed: the relaid masonry, the crown and the parts we installed. Retained masonry below the boundary and work by other trades fall outside it.
Can the rebuild be split into stages?
Partly. Loose masonry can be made safe first and the rebuild scheduled later. Once removal starts, though, the section is usually rebuilt in one sequence, so the chimney is not left open.
