"Tom has done two jobs for me now. On both occasions he quoted quickly and efficiently and started work as soon as possible, keeping me updated about days and times. The work was explained and conducted, then photographed. Tom was personable and informative. Extras needed, such as cowlings, were pointed out and obtained. He also took care to source bricks which blended with the existing which looks good."

What is chimney repointing and why is it needed in Southampton?

Repointing is the process of renewing the external mortar joints in brick or stone chimneys.

We ensure materials are compatible with your Southampton property's age and style.

Do I need planning permission for chimney repairs or replacement in Southampton?

For most chimney repairs, planning permission is not required in Southampton. However, for listed buildings or significant alterations like complete chimney removal or substantial rebuilding, you may need to obtain listed building consent or planning permission from Southampton City Council. We can advise you on planning requirements specific to your project.
