Expert chimney repointing for homes across Tewkesbury
A chimney stack is often the most exposed part of your property, bearing the brunt of the unpredictable Gloucestershire weather.

We use proven techniques and high-quality materials to provide a finish that not only looks excellent but offers long-term protection against the elements.
How can I tell if my chimney needs repointing?
It is not always easy to spot chimney damage from the ground, but there are several warning signs to look out for. If you notice bits of mortar or small pieces of brickwork on your roof or patio, it is a clear indicator that your chimney stack is deteriorating. Inside your home, damp patches on the ceiling around the chimney breast or a musty smell in the loft can suggest that water is seeping through failing joints.We recommend a professional inspection if you spot visible cracks in the mortar or if the brickwork appears to be loose. Catching these issues early with our chimney maintenance and repointing service can prevent expensive internal repairs and stop structural damage before it becomes a hazard.

Specialist lime mortar for historic Gloucestershire buildings
Tewkesbury and the surrounding Gloucestershire villages are home to many beautiful period properties and listed buildings. These older structures were often built using traditional lime mortar, which allows the building to 'breathe' and move slightly without cracking. Using modern cement on these properties can lead to long-term damage to the original bricks.At PRS Roofing, we have the expertise to provide traditional lime mortar repointing. We carefully match the aggregate and colour to ensure the restoration is sympathetic to the heritage of your home while providing the necessary weatherproofing for years to come.
PRS Roofing provides expert roofing services across Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, and the surrounding Gloucestershire areas within a 20-mile radius.
01242 503601Complete chimney stack restoration and maintenance
While repointing solves most mortar-related issues, a chimney often requires a more comprehensive approach to remain fully functional. Alongside our repointing services, we offer chimney flashing repairs, which involve checking the leadwork at the base of the stack to ensure water cannot leak into your roof space.We also specialise in chimney pot re-bedding. If your chimney pots are loose or the 'flaunching' (the mortar cap at the top) is cracked, it can lead to dangerous falls or significant leaks. Our team ensures every part of the stack, from the pots to the flashing, is secure and watertight.
Answers to common questions about our Chimney Repointing in Tewkesbury
How can I tell if my chimney needs repointing?
Look out for bits of grit or mortar sitting in your gutters or on the ground around your house. If you can see visible gaps between the bricks when looking through binoculars, or if you have damp patches appearing on the chimney breast inside, it is time to call us. Catching it early saves you a lot of money on bigger roof repairs later.
Do you use lime mortar for older Gloucestershire cottages?
Yes, we do. Many properties in the Tewkesbury area need lime mortar because modern cement is often too rigid for old bricks. Using the right materials prevents the bricks from spalling or cracking, which is vital for long-term chimney maintenance.
Will chimney repairs help stop leaks in my roof?
Definitely. The chimney is one of the most common places for leaks to start. If the mortar is gone, water soaks into the brickwork and travels down into your home. By repointing the stack and checking the lead flashing, we create a watertight seal that protects your property.
How long does a chimney stack restoration take?
Most repointing jobs in Tewkesbury take between one and two days, depending on the size of the stack and the amount of repair needed. We set up the necessary access safely, get the work done efficiently, and always clear up after ourselves, leaving your property tidy.
