Chimney Repairs and Leadwork in Dublin
Damp on your chimney breast, a stain on the ceiling or water in the attic? Your chimney is one of the first places to look. The lead flashing that seals your chimney to the roof can crack, lift or work loose in strong winds, and the pointing on older chimney stacks wears away over time. Either way, rain finds its way into your home.
With chimney repairs in Dublin from Haven, you get your chimney flashing, leadwork and pointing sorted by roofers with decades of combined experience. You'll know where the water is actually getting in and what needs doing, and you get a free quote before any work starts.
Common Chimney Problems You Can Get Fixed
- Lifted or Cracked Lead Flashing
Wind and weather can lift, crack or tear the lead flashing where your chimney meets the roof. You get it repaired, or replaced with new lead, so the joint is watertight again.
- Chimney Leaks
Damp patches on your chimney breast, or on the ceiling beside it, usually mean water is getting in around the stack. You get the leak traced to its source and the cause fixed, not just the stain.
- Worn or Cracked Pointing
Crumbling mortar between the bricks lets rain soak into your chimney stack. You get the loose pointing raked out and your chimney repointed with fresh mortar, so the rain stays out.
- Storm Damage Around the Chimney
After a storm, slipped slates or tiles and loose flashing around your chimney can let water in. You get the area made safe first, then a permanent repair.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chimney Repairs
Why is my chimney leaking?
Most chimney leaks come from lead flashing that has cracked, lifted or come loose where your chimney meets the roof, or from worn pointing that lets rain soak into the brickwork. Slipped slates or tiles around the chimney can let water in too. An inspection of your chimney and the roof around it tells you the real cause before anything is fixed.
Can the flashing be repaired without replacing the whole chimney?
Usually, yes. If your chimney itself is sound, you get the lead flashing repaired or renewed and any worn pointing redone, and the rest of the stack is left alone.
Can you repoint my chimney?
Yes. If the mortar between your chimney bricks is crumbling or cracked, the loose pointing is raked out and your chimney is repointed with fresh mortar, so the rain stays out.
How much does a chimney repair cost?
It depends on what's wrong, the size of your chimney and how easy it is to reach. You get a free, itemised quote after the inspection, so you know the price before any work starts.
Can a leaking chimney be fixed in the rain?
A permanent repair needs dry weather. In an emergency, temporary waterproofing such as heavy-duty tarpaulins can often be fitted to keep the water out of your home until the weather allows a permanent repair.
