Our approach to spalled brick in Meridian Park
Three parts of the job our brick specialists explain to homeowners in Meridian Park before any unit is removed.
Matching the mortar color around new brick
New joints that are brighter or darker than the old ones draw the eye to a repair. BIA Technical Note 46 notes that matching the existing mortar color helps blend the repaired area, and suggests comparing samples wet against wetted existing mortar and dry against dry.
Color can shift noticeably as mortar cures. We discuss how close a match is realistic for your chimney and use pigments or sand selection where they help. Expect the new joints to look slightly fresh at first. The estimate records the match we are aiming for so there are no surprises.
Working around clay and concrete roof tiles
Roof tiles can crack under a careless step or a dropped brick. When a chimney rises through a tile roof, the path to it and the staging area around it need planning.
We choose where to walk and set materials with the tiles in mind. If a tile has to be lifted to reach the lower courses of the chimney, we explain that in the estimate. Roof repairs outside the chimney are not part of the brick scope, and we say so up front.
When a home inspection mentions spalling
Home inspection reports often note spalled brick, cracked units or deteriorated masonry on a chimney without saying how much work it needs. Buyers and sellers then need a clear scope.
We inspect the chimney and write up the specific units, the likely causes and the related items such as crown or flashing work. Each line is priced separately, which helps when negotiating repairs. The inspection is free, and 10% comes off any service booked within 72 hours after it.
Using the right unit where brick cores would show
Many modern bricks have holes, or cores, through them. BIA Technical Note 19B warns that where chimney brickwork is stepped, care is needed so the cores of the units are not exposed, and it prefers uncored or paving brick in that setting.
When we replace units at a step, a ledge or the top course, we choose brick that will not leave open cores facing the weather. It is a small detail, but an exposed core is a ready-made pocket for water.

Chimney brick questions from Meridian Park
Short answers from our chimney team in Meridian Park. Call for anything not covered here.
Do all the bricks on my chimney need replacing?
Rarely. We check each suspect unit and its joints and replace the ones that have failed. A weak connected area may call for relaying a section, and we explain that before any work starts.
What are the white deposits on my chimney brick?
They are usually efflorescence, soluble material carried to the surface by water. Occasional light deposits can wash away, while deposits that keep returning suggest water is moving through the wall and deserve a closer look.
