Restoring a chimney that has taken damage
Keep people clear of loose chimney material
When pieces of brick, mortar or concrete start falling from a chimney, the area below becomes a hazard. Keep children, pets and visitors away from walkways and patios under the chimney until the loose material has been dealt with. Do not try to push loose pieces back or pull them off from a ladder.
Tell us about falling material when you call, including where it landed and roughly how large it was. Loose masonry at height changes how the visit is planned and how the area is protected. If a large section looks ready to fall, treat it as urgent rather than routine.
An open chimney is covered every evening
Some repairs leave the top of the chimney open while work is under way, for example when a crown is removed or top courses are relaid. At the end of each work day we cover the open chimney, so rain and debris stay out of the flue and the house.
We also clean up as we go and haul the debris away when the work is done. Broken brick, old mortar and removed metal leave the property with us. Tell us about areas that need extra care, such as planting beds, a patio or a driveway, so protection is planned before work starts.
Keeping the room clean during chimney work
Work inside the flue or around the fireplace can release soot and dust into the room. Before starting, we cover the floor near the fireplace, seal the opening where work is carried out and keep a clear path for equipment.
Tell us about furniture, rugs or anything fragile near the fireplace, and whether there are pets or children at home during the work. We plan protection for those areas. At the end, we clean the work area and remove the protection with the debris.
How a chimney damage visit usually runs
The visit begins with a conversation about what you noticed and when. We then look at the fireplace and flue from inside, the chimney from the ground and, where safe, from the roof. Where there is access, the attic view is added.
Before leaving, we explain the findings and answer questions on site. The written estimate follows, with each repair on its own line. Nothing is started during the visit unless you approve it and the job suits same-day work, which is available when the schedule allows.

What people ask about chimney damage
Should I keep using the fireplace until the chimney is repaired?
That depends on what was found. If we advise you to stop, keep the fireplace out of use until the repair is complete. Damage that is only cosmetic may not affect use, and we tell you which case applies.
Will I get anything in writing once the work is finished?
Yes. You receive a written record of the work that names the parts repaired and the materials used. Keep it with the estimate, since it helps anyone who works on the chimney later.
Can you tell whether water comes from the chimney or the roof?
Often, yes. We look at the flashing, the top of the chimney and the roof covering nearby. Where the source is still unclear, a hose water test on one area at a time can separate them.
