Rebuilding
Chimney rebuilding
If a chimney is past its life and needs to be rebuilt, we strip it down to roof level, taking all the dimensions and templates required, hand dress new sandstone to match the original, and rebuild in lime mortar.

Rebuilds & repairs on traditional stone
Survey first, then the right repair
At Edinburgh Stone Repair Ltd we specialise in chimney rebuilds and repairs on traditional stone-built chimneys throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians. We carry out photographic and rope access surveys to assess which remedial method is best for your chimney — whether it needs rebuilding or repair.
Render
Stonemasonry & render
We also specialise in render work. If you have a brick-built chimney where cement render has been used and is showing signs of cracking, we use a lime product called Facade 400, which is a lime-mortar-based product.
Weathering
Leadwork
We suggest using lead flashing at the base of the chimney, to prevent water ingress into your property from the lead watergates and valleys.
Roof
Slating
We have traditional Scotch slaters who carry out strip-and-reslate work, along with rope access slate repairs, replacing any slipped or cracked slates.
