Chimney Repair in Burton-on-Trent
Repointing, Flashing & Stack Repairs — Fixed Prices

Chimney Repointing

We remove deteriorated mortar and repoint chimney stacks using lime or cement mortar matched to the original. Essential for Burton-on-Trent properties where decades of weather exposure have eroded joints, allowing water penetration into the stack and chimney breast below.

Chimney Flashing Repair

Lead flashing around the chimney base is one of the most common sources of roof leaks. We strip failed flashings and install new code-5 lead stepped and back-gutter flashings, properly dressed into raked-out mortar joints for a watertight seal.

Chimney Stack Repair

We repair cracked, spalling and frost-damaged chimney bricks, rebuild corbelling and replace damaged sections of stack. Scaffolding is erected safely and all work is carried out by our own experienced team.

Chimney Pot Replacement

Cracked, loose or missing chimney pots are a common issue on Burton-on-Trent properties. We supply and fit new clay or decorative pots, bed them on a fresh flaunching mortar and ensure they are secure against wind uplift.

Chimney Cowl Installation

Chimney cowls prevent rain, birds and debris from entering unused flues while maintaining ventilation. We fit a range of cowl types including anti-downdraught, bird guard and rain caps to suit your requirements.

Chimney Removal

Where chimneys are no longer needed — particularly on properties converting to gas or electric heating — we safely remove chimney stacks down to roof level, weatherproof the opening and make good the roof tiles and internal breast.

“The chimney on our Edwardian terrace in Horninglow was in a sorry state — mortar was falling out in chunks and we had damp spreading across the bedroom ceiling. Aether repointed the whole stack with lime mortar, replaced two cracked pots and re-did all the flaunching. Absolutely first-class workmanship. The lads were polite, tidy and clearly knew exactly what they were doing.”

“We had a persistent leak around the chimney on our 1930s semi in Stapenhill that three other roofers had tried to fix with sealant. Aether stripped the old lead flashings, raked out all the mortar joints and fitted brand new code-5 lead stepped flashings. Problem completely solved. They also pointed out some frost-damaged bricks and repaired those while they were up there. Honest and thorough.”

“We decided to have both chimneys removed from our bungalow in Stretton as we no longer use them. Aether took both stacks down to roof level, re-tiled over the openings and capped the flues properly inside. The whole job was done in three days and the roof looks like the chimneys were never there. Excellent price, excellent work. Would recommend without hesitation.”
