Chimney Repair in Cannock
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 Cannock 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 Cannock 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.

“Had mortar crumbling badly from the chimney on our semi in Heath Hayes — you could see daylight through the joints from the loft. Aether put up scaffolding and repointed the entire stack in a day and a half. Colour-matched the mortar perfectly and replaced the flaunching around the pots too. Really clean, professional job and the price was exactly as quoted.”

“A chimney pot came off during Storm Henk and smashed on the driveway. Called Aether and they were out in Hednesford within a few hours to make it safe. Came back the following week to fit a new pot and replace the lead flashing which had also lifted. Emergency response was brilliant — no call-out charge and the final price matched the quote exactly.”

“We’d had persistent damp on the bedroom chimney breast for years — two other roofers said it was condensation. Aether diagnosed it straight away as failed flashing and eroded mortar joints letting rain soak through. They repointed the stack and fitted new lead flashings. The damp has completely gone. Honest, knowledgeable and fairly priced — would recommend to anyone in Cannock.”
