Chimney repointing involves removing old mortar and applying new mortar to the joints to maintain structural integrity and prevent water ingress.
Chimneys typically need repointing every 30-50 years, depending on exposure to weather and the quality of the original work.
Factors affecting the price include chimney height, accessibility, the extent of damage, and whether scaffolding is required.
