Aether Roofing Solutions provides expert chimney repair services across Leek and the wider ST13 postcode area. Leek is a historic market town perched on the western edge of the Staffordshire Moorlands, and its housing stock is defined by handsome stone-built Victorian terraces, former mill workers’ cottages and substantial Edwardian semis — the vast majority of which feature traditional chimney stacks. Sitting at around 200 metres above sea level, Leek’s chimneys are subjected to some of the harshest weather conditions in Staffordshire. Driving rain from the Pennine hills, persistent frost cycles through winter and strong prevailing winds cause mortar joints to erode significantly faster than in lower-lying towns. Many chimney stacks across the town centre, Ball Haye Green and Haregate have not been repointed for decades, and the original lime mortar is now crumbling away — allowing rainwater to penetrate the brickwork and cause damp on internal chimney breasts.
We cover Leek and the surrounding communities, including Leekbrook, Haregate, Westwood, Birchall, Ball Haye Green and Abbey Green. Whether you have crumbling mortar joints on a Victorian terrace, a cracked chimney pot on a 1930s semi, or a leaning stack that needs urgent attention after storm damage, our fully insured team will diagnose the problem accurately, provide a written fixed-price quote, and complete the repair to the highest standard — using materials appropriate to the age and character of your Leek property.
Complete chimney repair, maintenance and removal — all carried out by our own directly employed team.
We rake out deteriorated mortar joints and repoint your chimney stack using materials matched to the age of your Leek property. Lime mortar is used on older stone-built chimneys to maintain breathability and prevent trapped moisture damage.
Failed lead flashing is one of the most common causes of chimney leaks in Leek. We strip and replace deteriorated flashing with new code-5 lead, properly dressed into the brickwork and sealed to prevent water ingress at the roof junction.
From partial rebuilds to full structural repairs, we restore unstable, leaning or storm-damaged chimney stacks across Leek. All work is carried out from scaffolding and complies with building regulations where required.
Cracked, broken or missing chimney pots are replaced with matching or appropriate alternatives. We bed new pots securely in mortar and fit a flaunching to shed rainwater away from the stack — particularly important in the exposed Moorlands climate.
Chimney cowls prevent rainwater, birds and debris from entering disused flues — a common issue in Leek properties where fireplaces have been sealed off. We supply and fit a range of cowls suited to active and capped chimneys.
Where a chimney stack is beyond economical repair or no longer required, we carry out safe, controlled removal down to roof level — weatherproofing the opening and making good the roof tiles, lead work and internal structure.

“We had serious damp coming through the chimney breast in our Victorian terrace near Ball Haye Green. Aether came out, surveyed the stack and identified that the mortar joints had completely perished on the exposed side. They repointed the full stack in lime mortar, replaced the flaunching and fitted a new pot. Absolutely perfect job — no more damp. Very fair price too.”
“Storm blew a pot clean off our chimney and cracked the flaunching. Called Aether on a Sunday morning and they had someone out by lunchtime to make it safe. Came back in the week to do the permanent repair — new pot, new flaunching and repointed the top three courses. Couldn’t have asked for better service.”
“The lead flashing around our chimney had been leaking for months and two other roofers couldn’t sort it. Aether stripped it all back, re-dressed new code-5 lead and chased it into the brickwork properly. Not a drop of water since. Professional, tidy and the price was exactly as quoted.”
