Chimney Repairs in Norwich & Norfolk
From small repairs to full chimney rebuilds – safe, long-lasting solutions.
Chimneys take the full impact of weather all year round. Over time, mortar fails, bricks crack, and water begins to get in – often causing bigger problems inside the property.
At Gold Bricklaying, we specialise in chimney repairs and rebuilds, from minor repointing to full structural rebuilds where required.
We work on both modern and period properties, using appropriate materials including lime mortar where needed.
OUR CHIMNEY SERVICES
Chimneys are constantly exposed to weather and often deteriorate over time. We regularly deal with:
- Chimney repointing
- Chimney rebuilds (partial or full)
- Flaunching repairs and renewal
- Brick replacement
- Lead work repairs
- Chimney pot and cowl installation
- Crack repairs and structural stabilisation
CHIMNEY REPAIR VS REBUILD
When is a repair enough?
In many cases, chimneys can be repaired without full rebuild:
- Mortar joints deteriorating
- Minor cracks
- Loose or weathered pointing
- Damaged flaunching
These issues can often be resolved with repointing, localised repairs, or flaunching renewal, extending the life of the chimney.
When a rebuild is the better option
Sometimes repairs are only temporary, especially if the structure is failing.
A rebuild is usually recommended when:
- Bricks are badly worn or spalling
- Chimney is leaning or unstable
- Previous repairs have failed
- Large cracks running through the stack
- Long-term water penetration
In these cases, rebuilding the chimney ensures a safe, long-term solution, rather than repeated short-term fixes.
CHIMNEY REBUILDS
We carry out partial and full chimney rebuilds, typically from the roofline upwards.
This includes:
- Careful dismantling of damaged brickwork
- Rebuilding using matching or reclaimed bricks where possible
- New flaunching and correct weathering
- Reinstallation of chimney pots and cowls
We aim to match the existing appearance as closely as possible, especially on older properties.

If a repair is sufficient, we’ll recommend a repair.
If a rebuild is needed, we’ll explain why.
Our focus is always on doing the job properly the first time, so you don’t have to deal with the same issue again in a few years.
