Ensure the safety and structural integrity of your property with expert chimney services from High Pitch Roofing. As one of the most exposed parts of your home, the chimney stack is constantly subjected to harsh weather, making it a common source of leaks and masonry failure. With over 40 years of trade experience, our family-run team provides specialized repairs ranging from leadwork and repointing to complete chimney removals, ensuring your stack remains a secure and weather-tight feature of your roof.
A neglected chimney can lead to serious issues, including damp penetration, internal plaster damage, and even falling masonry. At High Pitch Roofing, we provide a thorough assessment of your chimney’s condition, looking beyond the surface to identify structural weaknesses or perished mortar. Because we are roofers, not just general builders, we understand exactly how a chimney interacts with your roofing system, ensuring that any repairs we perform create a seamless, waterproof seal that protects your entire home.
Our approach combines traditional masonry skills with modern materials to ensure longevity. Whether your chimney requires delicate repointing of the brickwork or the replacement of worn lead flashing, we treat every job with the same dedication to quality and honesty. As a family business, we prioritize your safety; if a chimney is no longer in use and has become a liability, we offer professional advice on the best course of action, from minor capping to a full, safe dismantling. We ensure every project is completed with minimal disruption and a commitment to leaving your site spotless.
We restore the structural integrity of your chimney stack by removing perished mortar and applying professional-grade pointing. This prevents water from seeping into the brickwork and causing internal damp or frost damage.
The junction between your chimney and the roof is a common leak point. We specialize in installing high-quality lead flashing and soakers, ensuring a watertight fit that expands and contracts naturally with the weather.
To prevent birds from nesting and rain from entering unused flues, we install durable chimney caps and cowls. This maintains essential ventilation while protecting your home from blockages and moisture.

Maintaining a chimney stack requires specialized knowledge. Here are the answers to the most common questions we receive from homeowners across Hornchurch and Dagenham.
If you notice crumbling mortar between the bricks, damp patches on the walls inside your home, or debris falling into your fireplace, it is likely that the external mortar has perished and needs professional repointing.
Leaks are most commonly caused by cracked lead flashing or a failure in the “fillet” (the seal) where the stack meets the tiles. We can quickly identify the source and replace the leadwork to restore a waterproof seal.
Yes, but it must be done professionally to ensure the roof is structurally supported and tiled over correctly. We can safely dismantle redundant stacks and seamlessly patch the roof to match your existing tiles.
Absolutely. Loose masonry is a serious safety hazard. We can re-bed chimney pots and replace damaged bricks to ensure the stack is safe and secure, even in high winds and storms.
For most chimney work, scaffolding is necessary to provide a safe working platform for our tradesmen. We manage the entire scaffolding process as part of our service, ensuring the project is safe for both our team and your property.
