How a chimney rebuild comes together
What the warranty covers on a rebuilt stack
Our workmanship warranty stands behind the rebuild work we agree and complete. That means the courses we laid, the crown we formed and the parts we fitted, as described on the estimate.
The masonry below the removal line was not rebuilt, so it sits outside that warranty, as does work by other trades such as the roof covering. Ask what the warranty means for your particular rebuild before you approve it. Keep the estimate and the completed work details together in case a question comes up.
When the flue is the main problem
Where the masonry is sound but the flue lining is cracked or missing, the lining can often be dealt with without a rebuild. Chimney liner installation covers fitting a listed liner inside the existing chimney.
If a rebuild is going ahead anyway, it is a good time to decide on the lining for the whole flue. We explain how the two jobs fit together and price the lining as its own line in either case. A rebuild does not settle the lining question by itself, so the two stay separate lines even when they share a visit.
Bricks that have turned soft
Some chimneys have bricks that crumble when touched, or faces that have fallen away across large areas. The brick industry treats widespread broken brick as a sign that goes beyond routine repair.
Replacing individual units in that condition leaves them surrounded by masonry that is just as weak. Where the damage is widespread, rebuilding the affected section with sound brick is usually the lasting answer. We explain why before you decide. We also look for the source of the water that softened the brick, so the new masonry is not exposed to it. That source is fixed as part of the rebuild or listed beside it.
Metals for a rebuilt top near the coast
A rebuilt top near the sea faces air that carries salt. That marine exposure corrodes galvanized steel faster than inland air does. The thin metal parts of a chimney top, such as caps, flashing and screws, tend to show it first.
For a coastal or near-coast rebuild, we pick the cap, flashing and fastener metals for that exposure. When stainless steel is the choice, its grade matters, since grades differ in how well they resist salt-laden air. The estimate states each metal and grade, so the choice can be checked later.

Your chimney rebuild questions
Is a partial rebuild enough for my chimney?
Often, yes. Damage is usually worst above the roof, where the weather hits hardest. If the masonry below is sound, rebuilding only the damaged top section is the normal approach, and we explain why.
Who handles the roof and flashing during a rebuild?
We set new counterflashing into the courses as they go up. The base flashing and roof covering around the chimney are coordinated with your roofer where needed, and the estimate says who does which part.
Is there a discount if I book the rebuild soon?
Yes. Once the free inspection at your home is done, you have 72 hours in which any service you book carries a 10% discount. The rebuild scope stays exactly as written either way.
