CHIMNEY POINTING & MORTAR REPAIRS IN BELFAST
Chimney mortar is continually exposed to rain, wind and changing weather conditions. As the joints deteriorate, mortar can crack, loosen or begin to fall away from between the bricks. We can inspect the chimney and determine whether localised mortar repairs or more extensive repointing is required.
Weathered Mortar
Age and continued exposure to the weather can gradually deteriorate the mortar joints around a chimney. Weathered areas can be assessed to establish the extent of repointing required.
Cracked & Loose Joints
Cracked, loose or missing mortar can affect individual joints or larger areas of chimney brickwork. Deteriorated mortar can be removed and the affected joints repointed where appropriate.
Chimney Brickwork
The condition of the surrounding bricks should also be considered when repointing a chimney. Where masonry deterioration is identified, additional chimney repair or rebuilding work may be required.
CHIMNEY REPOINTING FAQs
Answers to common questions about chimney pointing, deteriorated mortar and repairs to chimney brickwork throughout Belfast and Greater Belfast.
How do I know if my chimney needs repointing?
Visible cracked, crumbling, loose or missing mortar between the chimney bricks can indicate that repointing is required. An inspection can establish how widespread the deterioration is.
Why does chimney mortar deteriorate?
Chimneys are highly exposed to rain, wind and changing weather conditions. Over time, this exposure can cause traditional mortar joints to weather, crack and deteriorate.
Does the entire chimney need to be repointed?
Not necessarily. Where deterioration is localised, only the affected areas may require attention. More extensive weathering can require a larger section of the chimney to be repointed.
What happens during chimney repointing?
Deteriorated mortar is removed from the affected joints before new mortar is applied and finished between the bricks. The extent of the work depends on the condition of the existing chimney.
Can you repair damaged chimney bricks at the same time?
Yes. Where the problem extends beyond the mortar joints, MPM also provides chimney rebuilding and masonry repair work.
Can damaged chimney pointing contribute to water ingress?
Deteriorated mortar can leave chimney masonry more exposed to the weather. However, water around a chimney can have several possible sources, including flashing and surrounding roofing, so the area should be properly assessed.
Can you inspect the chimney before providing a quotation?
Yes. MPM provides free inspections and quotations so the condition of the mortar and chimney brickwork can be assessed before the required work is agreed.
