Professional Chimney Repairs in Durham
Chimneys don’t just add character — they protect your home from serious issues like structural damage, dampness, and poor insulation.
Trustmark Roofing supports homeowners across Durham, from Gilesgate to Chester-le-Street, with chimney repair services done right the first time. We fix flashing leaks, crumbling mortar, chimney flue blockages and more.
Our local chimney specialists are known for straightforward advice and affordable roofing services in Durham. Whether you’re dealing with storm damage or wear from old age, we offer expert chimney repair services designed to protect your roof and restore your property.
Our comprehensive repair services in Durham cover everything from routine maintenance to urgent structural fixes. There is no upselling, no guesswork, just expert guidance and a clear plan.

Crumbling mortar joints can let in water and weaken the structure over time. Our team uses traditional lime mortar to carefully repoint your chimney, restoring strength, stopping water ingress, and helping your property maintain heat through improved airflow and structural integrity.

We repair or replace worn-out lead flashing where the stack meets your roofline, a common source of leaks. If water damage is showing up near your chimney breast, it's usually due to torn flashing. We install new leadwork and seal it properly for lasting protection.

Whether frost, age, or storm damage has left your stack leaning or unsafe, we handle full and partial rebuilds. Our chimney builders use bricks to match your property and follow proper construction standards to prevent future movement, water ingress, or brickwork deterioration.

If your fire is smoking or smells are entering the room, your flue may be blocked or cracked. We provide professional smoke testing and chimney flue inspections to identify the issue quickly and advise on the safest, most cost-effective solution for your property.

Unused chimneys can let in cold draughts, birds, and water. If yours is no longer needed or beyond repair, we offer safe removal or install secure chimney caps and cowls. This improves thermal efficiency and stops wildlife or rain from entering disused flues.

Stop birds nesting in your chimney and prevent rain from causing internal water damage. We supply and fit a range of chimney cowls, bird guards, and caps that are designed to keep your flue protected, safe, and free from obstructions year-round.
