Knights Roofing Launches Expert Chimney Leaning Repair Services in South West London

LONDON, UK – Homeowners in South West London now have a trusted solution for one of the most overlooked yet dangerous structural issues: leaning chimneys.

Knights Roofing + Exterior Restoration Ltd⁠

, a family-owned roofing specialist based at Battersea Power Station, is expanding its services to include expert chimney leaning repair and restoration — offering homeowners peace of mind with guaranteed results.

From cracked flashing to structural tilt, a leaning chimney isn’t just an eyesore — it’s a serious risk to both property and personal safety. Knights Roofing combines years of industry experience with advanced diagnostics to identify, stabilise, and rebuild leaning chimneys before the damage becomes critical.

Why Is a Leaning Chimney So Dangerous?

“Many homeowners ignore a slightly leaning chimney thinking it's just age-related or cosmetic,” says the Knights Roofing team. “But that visible tilt can signal deep foundation issues, water ingress, or even the potential for collapse.”

Common dangers include:

Risk of chimney or roof collapse

Water leaks through cracked flashing or crown

Flue liner damage leading to fire or gas hazards

Entry points for birds, rodents, and pests

Knights Roofing offers free evaluations to assess the root cause, using specialist tools like laser levels, footing inspections, and structural crack monitoring.

A Proven Solution: From Inspection to Stabilisation

Knights Roofing’s chimney leaning repair process typically involves:

Professional Inspection – A detailed assessment of the tilt, brickwork, and base integrity.

Stabilisation – Use of underpinning or helical piers to anchor and level the chimney safely.

Repair or Rebuild – Repointing, flashing replacement, or complete chimney stack rebuilding if required.

Waterproofing & Sealing – Final steps include flashing repair, chimney crown sealing, and moisture protection.

The company also handles all related roofing work, making them a one-stop shop for homeowners needing chimney and roof repair under one trusted name.
