Repointing, Flashing & Stack Repairs — Fixed Prices
Kinver is a picturesque village perched along the sandstone ridge of Kinver Edge in South Staffordshire, known for its mix of characterful period cottages, substantial Victorian and Edwardian homes along the High Street and Enville Road, and more modern developments around Comber Road and the Hyde. Many of these properties retain their original chimney stacks — a handsome feature that defines the village’s roofline but one that demands regular maintenance. Our team works throughout Kinver and the wider DY7 postcode, including Stourton, Enville, Iverley, Halfpenny Green, and Stewponey, providing skilled chimney repairs that keep homes dry, safe, and structurally sound.
The elevated topography of Kinver means chimney stacks face greater wind exposure than properties in lower-lying areas. South-westerly gales drive rain directly into mortar joints, while the sandstone geology contributes to damp conditions that hasten frost damage over winter. Older cottages along the village core and properties with tall stacks overlooking the Stour valley are particularly prone to deterioration. Whether you have spotted crumbling pointing on a period home near the church, a loose pot on a 1930s semi along Dark Lane, or failed lead flashing on a detached house in Stourton, Aether Roofing Solutions carries out a thorough roof-level inspection and delivers a permanent, clearly priced chimney repair.
Signs Your Chimney Needs Repair
From minor repointing to full stack removals — we handle all chimney work across Kinver and DY7.
Careful raking out of deteriorated mortar joints and repointing with durable, colour-matched mortar. We use lime mortar on older Kinver properties where appropriate to maintain breathability and protect softer heritage brickwork.
Full replacement of failed or cracked lead flashing around the chimney base. We install new Code 4 lead, stepped and wedged into the mortar courses and dressed over the roof covering for a permanent, watertight seal.
Structural repairs to cracked, spalled, or leaning chimney stacks. We carry out partial rebuilds using reclaimed or closely matched bricks to restore the stack’s stability and weather resistance while preserving its character.
Removal of damaged or unstable pots and installation of new chimney pots bedded on fresh flaunching. We carry a range of traditional styles sympathetic to the period properties found throughout Kinver village.
Fitting of rain cowls, bird guards, and anti-downdraught cowls to protect your flue. We recommend the correct cowl type depending on whether your chimney still serves a working fire, a gas appliance, or is no longer in use.
Safe, controlled removal of redundant chimney stacks to below the roofline. We weather the remaining structure, re-tile neatly, and ensure the internal breast is properly supported to prevent future movement.

Real reviews from homeowners across Kinver and the DY7 area.
“Our Victorian cottage on the High Street had terrible chimney pointing — you could see daylight through some of the joints. Aether repointed the entire stack using lime mortar to match the original, and the finish is superb. The damp on our bedroom chimney breast has completely dried out. Excellent service.”
“Had the lead flashing replaced around both chimney stacks on our detached home in Stourton. The old flashing had cracked and lifted, causing leaks into two bedrooms. Aether fitted new stepped lead and the problem is completely resolved. Very fair price and tidy workmanship throughout.”
“One of our chimney pots was cracked and sitting at an angle after a storm. Aether came out within two days, replaced the pot, re-did the flaunching, and fitted a cowl to stop birds getting in. Quick, professional, and the price was exactly what they quoted. Would definitely use again.”
