From the roof we check pointing depth and condition, flashing integrity, flaunching around pots, and the condition of the corbelling.

Most chimneys in Leyton need repointing rather than full rebuilding. We rake out failed joints to a depth of 15–20mm and re-point with lime mortar on pre-1930s properties (cement mortar traps moisture in old brickwork and causes spalling) and cement mortar on newer stock. Full rebuilds are only recommended when the stack is visibly leaning, bricks are crumbling, or the internal flue has collapsed.
