The average cost to repoint a chimney is typically around Â£300 for a small chimney with easy access on a low roof. A chimney on the gable end of a semi-detached house is expected to cost Â£800 due to scaffolding costs. Repointing a large chimney stack in the centre of a roof is the most expensive, typically around Â£1200. This average price can vary greatly depending on location, amount of scaffolding, type of chimney, and whether the chimney is at the end or middle of the roof, as well as if it's at eaves or ridge height.

It's important to distinguish the cost of a new roof -- almost $6,500 on average -- versus the much more affordable $550 to repair a roof. 10-foot length of durable vinyl gutter should cost around $4. If it's a section that uses end caps, the caps cost about $5 each. They are usually specific to the manufacturer due to particular shapes of the gutters. If you need a new downspout to guide the water, purchase a 10-foot downspout pipe for around $9.
