Chimney removal in Wolverhampton & Cannock

Free no obligation quotes across Wolverhampton, Cannock and the Midlands. One fixed price in writing, all work guaranteed.

Some chimneys are past saving, and some people simply do not want the stack any more. When that is the case, we take the chimney down from the roof up, careful of what is below, and make the roof good over the hole where the stack used to be, new timbers, membrane, battens and tiles run in to match the rest of the roof. We give you a fixed written price before we start, with no creeping extras once the work is under way. We are a local team based in Featherstone, just off the M54, and we carry out chimney removals across Wolverhampton, Cannock and the rest of the Midlands for domestic and commercial customers. The survey is free, the written price usually lands within 48 hours, and there is no pressure and no charge for looking. We use proper materials, we finish when we said we would, and we leave the site clean. Taking a chimney down is not a job to rush, because the stack sits over the rooms below, so we make sure the opening is properly supported and sealed before the roof goes back over it. If a repair to the stack will genuinely last for years, we say so rather than sell you a removal, because we do plenty of both. We only recommend taking a chimney down when the brickwork is past saving or you no longer want the stack, and we put that in writing so you can see the price and the plan before we start. Either way you get one price in writing and no pressure. The stack comes down brick by brick from the top, with the rubble dropped down a chute into the skip so the garden and the paths are not covered in dust and broken mortar. The opening where the stack sat is then closed up: we fit new timbers across the gap, lay membrane and battens, and run tiles in to match the rest of the roof so the line of the covering is whole again. The join where the new roof meets the closed up stack is dressed with lead so the weather stays out, and the inside is left tidy so the room below can be finished. Where the chimney breast runs down inside the house, we leave it tidy and supported, and we talk through what happens to the breast at the survey so you know the plan before we start. A removal is the right call when the stack is beyond a repair, and we tell you straight when that is the case, but we will not talk you into taking a sound chimney down.

After looking round for a decent roofing company I found SS roofing via Instagram. So I filled out the enquiry form and Shaun contacted me and proceeded to come round and give me a quote. Very reasonable price very knowledgeable about his profession just a nice guy. He got me booked in for a felt rott repair and turned up on time. While up on the roof he noticed the ridge tiles weren't in the best condition and explained in a way a non roofer would understand that the repair he had done wouldn't last as the rain water would go under the tiles and do the exact same damage so I asked for a quote to re point the ridge tiles and he came back the next day to do what he said he would. I would definitely recommend him to do work again

Shaun and team have carried out a thoroughly professional job whilst installing two GFRP dry valley gutters at my property. They are highly attentive and professional and polite tradesmen and I would most certainly recommend their services to anyone who requires roofing work in Wolverhampton.

From the first phone call Shaun gave me confidence. At first visit he continued with professional and knowledgeable advice on what was needed. Price was fair, timescale excellent. He and his team turned up when he said they would and did a really good, professional job. I am very pleased with the outcome, the new roof and fascia look fantastic and am confident that is the end of our problems, roofwise. I would thoroughly recommend Shaun.

SS Roofing Ltd was the quickest to reply to our request for a quote (came over within 2 hours), explained the work needed really well and didnt try to talk us into any unnecessary work. They were knowledgeable and friendly and prompt with their quote, which was also the cheapest one we received by a lot! The work done was very good and the guy who did it was also friendly, prompt and thorough. For someone who had never had to arrange this type of thing they made me feel very comfortable and trusted them. I would definitely use them again!

Unlike other builders I have used, shaun came when he said he would and was very clear on the quote exactly what work was being carried out. I had a lot of work done to the roof which was completed to the highest standard and in good time, weather permitting. The work was a very competative price and Shaun took a deposit of only what was necessary despite my offering of more and I was able to pay that as well as the outstanding funds on completion by bank transfer. The Roof now looks fantastic and because of this, not only did I ask him to complete more work for me, but he was asked to work on two more roofs in the same street as his work speaks for itself. Would highly recommend for any roofing work that needs doing.
