If your terrace was built before about 1920, the chimney was built with lime mortar. Lime is softer than modern cement, which is actually the right choice for older brickwork, but it weathers faster. After 100 years of Liverpool weather, the joints have eroded back and the stack needs repointing. The temptation is to use modern cement mortar, but on a soft-brick Victorian stack that traps moisture and accelerates spalling. We repoint with lime or a lime-cement blend that matches the original. It costs a little more, lasts decades longer.
Lead flashing has a working life of around 50 years if properly fitted. On terraces from the 1920s, 30s and 50s, original lead is now well past its date. Cracks open along the step joint where the lead meets the brickwork, water tracks down behind the brick, and shows up on the bedroom ceiling next to the chimney breast. Eight out of ten chimney leaks in Liverpool homes we attend are lead flashing failures, not the stack itself.
Sulphates from coal smoke and Liverpool weather react with mortar over decades and cause stacks to lean toward the prevailing wind. You see it on older streets across Anfield, Toxteth and Bootle. A small lean is usually cosmetic. A significant lean (more than about 25mm out of plumb) is a structural concern and may need the stack rebuilt or taken down. We assess on the day and tell you honestly which side of the line you are on.
Chimney work usually overlaps with other roof problems we spot on the day. Common related fixes: general roof repairs for slipped slates near the chimney, slate and tile repair where the surrounding tiles need replacing after the flashing work, and roof inspections and maintenance if you want a proactive check before winter.

Prices reflect typical Liverpool jobs including access by scaffold tower or full scaffold where needed. Three-storey terraces in Toxteth, Anfield, Tuebrook and Wavertree usually need full scaffold which adds £200 to £400 to the lower jobs. We tell you on the day if the job needs proper scaffolding versus a tower.
Competitive pricing, free site surveys, and transparent written quotes with absolutely no hidden costs.
We climb up, photograph the lead, the flaunching, the pointing, send you the pictures and the price. If it is a £350 fix not a £2,500 rebuild, that is what you pay. We have walked away from rebuild work because the chimney did not need one.

We hired Everlast to help with a leak from the roof. They did and absolute great job. They managed to diagnose the problem as well as replaced the lead flashings and soakers. My team were very satisfied with the results and my tenant is happy. This was done efficiently and quickly too. Thanks Chris and your team 🙌🏼 Vicky – Housing and Property Manager (Imagine Independence)

Chimney repairs across Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley, the Wirral and the wider Merseyside area.
Whether you need a quick repair or a complete roof replacement, our local team is ready to respond. We pride ourselves on quick response times and reliable service throughout the region.
Classic signs: a damp patch on a bedroom or attic ceiling near the chimney breast, brown staining inside the flue, salts crystallising on the outside of the brickwork, or visible cracks in the lead flashing. In Liverpool we see most chimney leaks show up after heavy westerly rain, because the prevailing wind drives water at the lead seal. If you see any of these, get a survey before winter.
Usually just repointing and re-leading. Full rebuild is needed only if the brickwork itself is spalled, the mortar has lost structural integrity, or there is a significant lean. We assess on the day and tell you the honest answer. Most Liverpool chimneys we attend need lead and pointing work, not a rebuild.
Sometimes. Storm damage, lightning strike or a tree fall on the chimney is usually covered. Wear and tear, eroded pointing, or a slow leak that has been there for years is usually not. Worth checking your policy schedule before you assume either way.
Depends on how severe. A small lead crack you might survive a winter with, especially in Liverpool’s milder climate. Eroded pointing or a leaning stack we would not leave through a winter storm cycle. Get a free survey, get the honest answer, decide from there.
Yes. Every chimney repair gets a written guarantee on the work and the materials. Lead flashing repairs we typically guarantee for 10 years on the lead and the workmanship. Pointing work guarantee depends on the mortar mix used. We tell you the exact terms on the quote.
Yes. We can take a disused chimney down from the roofline or all the way through the loft, then make the roof good with matching tiles or slates. Sometimes this is cheaper than rebuilding a failing stack, especially if you do not use the flue. We will give you both prices so you can choose.
We provide a comprehensive range of roofing services for domestic and commercial customers throughout the North West.

From Chris, the owner
Nine times out of ten, a “chimney leak” on a Liverpool terrace is the lead flashing, not the stack itself. The owner gets quoted £2,500 for a full chimney rebuild when £350 of lead and labour would have fixed it. Get a roofer up there with a camera before you sign anything. If they want the rebuild money before they have shown you the lead, walk away.
