Yes, Rightway Roofers has expertise in heritage chimney repairs and replacements, including work on listed buildings in Christchurch. We understand the regulations and sensitivities involved, using traditional materials and methods where appropriate to maintain the historical integrity of your property.

Repointing is the process of renewing the external mortar joints in your chimney brickwork.  Christchurch's weather, particularly wind and rain, can erode mortar over time.  Repointing prevents water ingress, which can cause serious structural damage and damp problems, and is essential maintenance for chimney longevity.

Chimney repair costs vary depending on the extent of the damage and the type of repair needed. Minor repairs like repointing will be less expensive than a full chimney rebuild. We provide free, no-obligation estimates after a thorough inspection, giving you a clear and transparent price for your Christchurch chimney repair.

The lifespan of a chimney repair depends on the type of repair and the quality of workmanship and materials.  Repointing, when done correctly by experienced professionals like Rightway Roofers, can last for many years (20-30+).  More extensive repairs or rebuilds should also provide decades of service when properly maintained.

For most routine chimney repairs, planning permission is not required. However, for significant alterations, chimney removal, or work on listed buildings, you may need to obtain Listed Building Consent or planning permission from Christchurch Borough Council. We can advise you on planning requirements specific to your project.

Before winter, it's wise to have your chimney inspected and cleaned. Ensure any necessary repairs, such as repointing or flashing repairs, are addressed before the colder, wetter weather arrives.  This preventative maintenance can help avoid problems during the harsher winter months in Christchurch.

Rightway Roofers uses high-quality, durable materials suited to the Christchurch climate.  This includes:  bricks that match existing brickwork, lime mortar for traditional and listed buildings, cement mortar for modern applications, lead flashing for superior weatherproofing, and durable chimney pots and flue liners.
