Catching pointing failure early
Repointing a small section while it's still limited is far cheaper than a full rebuild after years of water ingress have weakened the brickwork more broadly.
Extending the chimney's working life
Chimneys that receive periodic maintenance generally last considerably longer before needing major structural work than those left entirely alone.
Protecting the roof around it
Since chimney problems, particularly flashing failures, are a common cause of wider roof leaks, maintaining the chimney protects more than just the stack itself.
Peace of mind ahead of a sale or survey
A chimney with a recent clean bill of health is one less thing to complicate a property sale or mortgage survey.
