About Us
A Family Legacy in Chimney Care
Margate Chimneys Ltd is a father and sons business built on the foundations of trust, craftsmanship, and genuine pride in every job we do. Based in Margate, Kent, we serve homes and properties across Thanet and the wider Kent coastline — from Broadstairs and Ramsgate to Cliftonville, Herne Bay and Whitstable.
Coastal Kent presents unique challenges for chimney stacks. Salt air accelerates mortar erosion, freeze-thaw cycles widen cracks, and traditional Victorian and Edwardian brickwork requires specialist knowledge. Our team understands these conditions intimately — and we treat every property as if it were our own.
From a straightforward chimney repointing in Ramsgate to a full chimney demolition and rebuild in Broadstairs — we bring the same level of care, skill, and transparency to every project. When you call us, you speak directly to the family. No call centres, no hidden costs, no surprises.
