Chimney repairs in Wolverhampton & Cannock
Free no obligation quotes across Wolverhampton, Cannock and the Midlands. One fixed price in writing, all work guaranteed.
Chimneys are the part of an older roof that fails first, and on the Victorian and Edwardian terraces round Wolverhampton and the Midlands nearly every house has one. The mortar in the stack weathers out, the flaunching on the top crumbles, the lead flashing where the chimney meets the roof splits or lifts, and the whole stack starts to take in water. We repoint the brickwork, re-do the flaunching across the top, re-flash the lead where it has failed, and where the stack is past saving we take it down and make the roof good over it. Repairs start from £199 for the straightforward jobs, and 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 repairs across 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. The lead round a chimney is the cause of most of the leaks we are called to, so we treat the flashing as part of the chimney job, not a separate afterthought. If a repair to the stack will genuinely last for years, we say so rather than sell you a chimney removal, and if the stack is past saving we tell you straight and put the removal in writing too. Either way you get one price in writing and no pressure. The flaunching across the top of the stack is the mortar bed that holds the chimney pots and sheds water off the crown, and it is the part most people forget, but once it crumbles the rain runs straight down inside the stack. We rake the old flaunching out and re-do it, bedding the pots back in so the top of the stack is sound. The mortar in the brickwork itself weathers out from the joints over the years, especially on the exposed stacks on the higher ground, so we rake the old mortar out and repoint the brickwork to hold the stack sound. Where a stack has been patched once too often and the brickwork is spalling, we tell you straight that a repair will not last and a rebuild or a removal is the better call, and we put that in writing so you can see the price and the plan before we start.
