Repointing, Flashing & Stack Repairs — Fixed Prices
Wombourne is an affluent South Staffordshire village with a varied housing stock. The older village centre features Victorian and Edwardian properties with traditional brick chimney stacks, while the surrounding residential areas include substantial 1930s semis and detached houses, 1960s–1970s private estates, and newer executive developments. The neighbouring villages of Trysull, Himley, and Seisdon contain older country properties and cottages with period chimney stacks. Many properties in the WV5 area have multiple chimney stacks that have been neglected since the switch from coal to central heating, leaving them vulnerable to decades of unchecked weathering.
The exposed position of chimney stacks means they bear the brunt of South Staffordshire’s driving rain, frost cycles, and prevailing westerly winds. Over time, mortar joints erode, lead flashings crack and lift, and chimney pots loosen on deteriorating flaunching. Whether you have noticed crumbling pointing on a Victorian stack in the village centre, damp appearing on a chimney breast in a 1960s semi near Swindon, or a cracked pot on a country cottage in Trysull, Aether Roofing Solutions provides a thorough roof-level inspection, an honest assessment, and a clearly priced repair that is built to last. We work regularly across Wombourne, Wall Heath, Himley, Seisdon, and the wider WV5 postcode.
Signs Your Chimney Needs Repair
From minor repointing to full stack removals — we handle all chimney work across Wombourne and WV5.
Removal of deteriorated mortar and full repointing of chimney stack joints using weather-resistant mortar matched to the original colour. Essential for preventing water penetration into the brickwork and maintaining structural integrity.
Replacement of failed lead flashing around the base of the chimney stack where it meets the roof tiles. We install new Code 4 lead, properly stepped and dressed into the brickwork to create a permanent, watertight seal.
Structural repair of damaged or unstable chimney stacks, including partial rebuilds using reclaimed or matching bricks. We address cracking, leaning stacks, and spalled brickwork to restore safety and weather resistance.
Removal of cracked, broken, or loose chimney pots and installation of new pots bedded on a fresh mortar flaunching. We carry a range of standard and decorative pot styles to suit properties across Wombourne.
Fitting of chimney cowls to prevent rain, birds, and debris from entering the flue. We advise on the correct cowl type for your chimney — whether it is still in use with a gas fire, open fire, or has been decommissioned.
Safe removal of redundant chimney stacks down to below the roofline. We weatherproof the remaining structure, re-tile the area, and ensure the internal breast is properly supported where necessary.

Real reviews from homeowners across Wombourne and the WV5 area.
“We had the chimney on our period cottage fully repointed by Aether. They used lime mortar to match the existing stonework, which is exactly what the property needed. The finished result looks fantastic and has stopped all the damp that was coming through. Highly recommended for older properties.”
“A chimney pot blew off during high winds and I needed it sorted urgently. Aether responded the same day, made the area safe, and had a new pot fitted and properly bedded by the afternoon. Brilliant emergency service — I couldn’t have asked for a faster response.”
“We had persistent damp on the chimney breast in our living room for over a year. Aether identified that the lead flashing had failed and the pointing was shot. They replaced the flashing with new lead and repointed the entire stack. The damp has completely gone. Excellent work.”
