A chimney stack is a very complex structure of your roof. It is elevated at the top and gets less support than other components. Weather damage and aging can cause it to lean and crack. Our team fixes the brickwork, seals the mortar joints, and rebuilds all the unstable parts.
When the chimney stack has reached its final days, a repair is not the solution. We rebuild chimneys completely from the roofline to the base of the chimneys. Our team makes sure to use mortar mix and bricks that are identical to the original structure.
Approximately 750 mm to 900 mm of rainfall is recorded yearly in Staffordshire. Moreover, frost damage is also common in the area.

The chimney brickwork is very spongy and absorbs water quickly. Moisture seepage can damage the internal strength of your mortar. This leads to cracking and decay of mortar over the period of time.
We repoint chimneys throughout Staffordshire, using the right mix of materials to restore your mortar joints before damage reaches the brickwork.
A standard above-roof stack rebuild can cost around £1000 to £3500 in the region. The entire cost depends on the extent of the rebuild. For a complete structural renewal of the entire chimney, the cost increases to £5000. A good survey can tell you whether you actually need a full rebuild or just a repair. If the damage is just around the base, a simple lead flashing can do the job. We always put our repair and rebuild options side by side and recommend a solution suited to your chimney.
