Chimney Service in Dorking
Upgraded Roofing & Guttering provides a full chimney service across Dorking and the wider RH5 area. Chimneys take more weather than almost any other part of a roof, and small problems like loose pointing or damaged flashing can let water into your home if left unchecked. Over 10 years we have repaired, repointed and rebuilt chimneys on properties of every age. Every job starts with a free, honest quote.

OUR SERVICES
Cracked brickwork, loose pots and general wear are common on older chimneys. Our chimney repair service fixes these issues before they let water into the chimney breast or roof space. We work carefully at height, always with safety as the priority. Learn more on our Chimney Repair page.
Mortar joints wear away over time, especially on exposed chimney stacks. Once pointing starts to crumble, water can get behind the brickwork and cause damage from the inside out. Our chimney repointing service replaces failed mortar with a matching mix, keeping the chimney both sound and true to the look of the property. Read more on our Chimney Repointing page.
When a chimney stack has deteriorated beyond repair, rebuilding it is the safer long term option. Our chimney stack replacement service takes down the affected brickwork and rebuilds it to current standards, matching the original style wherever possible. See our Chimney Stack Replacement page for more.
The flashing around the base of a chimney is one of the most common places for roof leaks to start. Our chimney flashing repair service replaces worn or damaged flashing with a properly fitted, weatherproof seal. More detail is on our Chimney Flashing Repair page.
Not every chimney is still in use, and some homeowners choose to have an old chimney removed as part of a wider renovation. Our chimney removal service takes the stack down safely and makes good the roof afterwards. Visit our Chimney Removal page for more information.
A chimney cowl keeps rain, birds and debris out of an open flue while still allowing it to draw properly. Our chimney cowl fitting service covers a range of cowl types suited to different chimney and flue setups. Find out more on our Chimney Cowl Fitting page.
ABOUT US
Dorking sits within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and many of the older cottages around Coldharbour, Wotton and the town centre have chimneys that are decades, sometimes centuries, old. Working on these stacks calls for a careful approach that respects the character of the building while making sure the chimney is safe and weathertight.

We regularly work on homes tucked along the lanes around Box Hill, in the villages of Newdigate and Beare Green, and on properties close to the town centre near Denbies. From the older cottages near St Martin's Church to newer builds on the edge of Dorking, we know the roofing challenges this part of Surrey throws up, from clay soil movement to the weight of winter storms rolling in off the North Downs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my chimney needs repointing in Dorking?
Signs your chimney needs repointing include crumbling or missing mortar between the bricks, damp patches near the chimney breast inside your home, and loose bricks on the stack. Upgraded Roofing & Guttering offers free inspections across the Dorking area to check the condition of your chimney.

Yes, when it is done properly. Chimney removal involves taking down the stack safely and making sure the roof is correctly sealed and supported afterwards. Upgraded Roofing & Guttering carries out chimney removal to current standards, with full insurance cover throughout the job.
Do you fit chimney cowls to stop birds nesting near Dorking?
