Aether Roofing Solutions provides expert chimney repair across Biddulph and the wider ST8 postcode area. Biddulph sits at an elevated position on the western edge of the Staffordshire Moorlands. The town has a mix of Victorian terraced streets around the centre, 1950s–1970s council and ex-council estates across Brown Lees and Knypersley, and older stone-built properties on Biddulph Moor which sits at over 300 metres above sea level. The exposed elevated position means chimney stacks face severe wind, driving rain and frost cycles that accelerate mortar deterioration far more quickly than in lowland towns. Many properties switched from coal to central heating decades ago and chimneys have been neglected since, leading to widespread repointing needs. Our team is called out regularly across the ST8 area to carry out chimney repointing, lead flashing replacement, pot fitting and full stack repairs.
We serve all areas of Biddulph and its surrounding communities, including Biddulph Moor, Brown Lees, Knypersley, Gillow Heath and Poolfold. The stone-built cottages on Biddulph Moor require specialist lime mortar repointing rather than modern cement — our team is experienced in traditional lime mortar work on stone chimney stacks. Whether you have noticed damp patches on a chimney breast wall, spotted crumbling mortar from ground level or had a chimney pot dislodged in a storm, our fully insured team will carry out a free survey, give you honest advice and provide a written fixed price that never changes.
Repointing, flashing, stack repairs, pot replacement and full chimney removal — all carried out by our own directly employed team.
We remove deteriorated mortar and repoint chimney stacks using lime or cement mortar matched to the original. Essential for Biddulph properties where the elevated, exposed position accelerates mortar erosion, allowing water penetration into the stack and chimney breast below. Lime mortar is used on all stone-built chimneys across Biddulph Moor.
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.
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.
Cracked, loose or missing chimney pots are a common issue on Biddulph properties — particularly those exposed to the high winds on the Moor. 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 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.
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.

“Aether repointed our chimney stack which had been crumbling for years. They used lime mortar to match the original and the finish is excellent. Scaffolding went up and came down within two days. Very impressed with the quality of work.”
“Called Aether after a chimney pot blew off in a storm. They came out within hours, secured the stack and fitted a new pot with fresh flaunching. Brilliant service — especially given we’re up on the Moor where the weather is always worse.”
“We had damp coming through the chimney breast for months. Aether surveyed it, found the flashing had failed and the mortar was shot. They repointed the full stack and replaced the flashing. Completely dry inside now. Fantastic job.”
