Chimney Repairs in Melbourne

Melbourne's older homes — particularly the Victorian and Edwardian terrace houses in Carlton, Fitzroy, Hawthorn, Richmond, and South Yarra — have original brick chimneys that require specialist care. Chimneys take the worst of Melbourne's weather at the highest point of the building, and their mortar deteriorates faster than ground-level brickwork.

Common Chimney Problems

• Failed or crumbling mortar joints
• Cracked or broken bricks near the top
• Loose or missing chimney cap (flaunching)
• Water entry through the chimney into the ceiling
• Leaning or structurally compromised chimney stacks
• Spalling bricks from freeze-thaw or moisture cycling

What We Do

We handle chimney repointing, brick replacement, flaunching (chimney cap mortar) repair and replacement, and where necessary partial or full chimney stack rebuilds. We work safely at height with proper equipment and carry full public liability insurance.

Heritage Chimneys

For heritage homes, chimney restoration must match the original profile and mortar type. We use lime mortar where appropriate for Victorian-era chimneys, and can replicate original chimney cap and pot configurations where these have been damaged or removed.
