Chimney Repairs around Stoke on Trent
Got a damp patch on your chimney breast?
Water dripping into the loft?
Mould around the fireplace?
Something smells off or the pot looks like it’s about to fall?
If you’re dealing with any of that — you probably need a chimney repair.
And fast.
We handle chimney repairs across Stoke on Trent.
From flaky bricks to full rebuilds.
If it’s up high and leaking, we’re the team to fix it.
Signs Your Chimney’s Failing
Most people don’t check their chimney until it’s too late.
Here’s what to look for:
-
Yellow or brown stains on the chimney breast
-
Damp patches in bedrooms or the loft
-
Mould on skirting boards around the fireplace
-
Cold spots or musty smells near the stack
-
White powdery stuff on the bricks in the loft (that’s efflorescence — sign of trapped moisture)
-
Wonky chimney pots
-
Weeds or ivy growing out the stack
-
Strange smells (dead birds, nests, or damp buildup)
If you’ve got one of these, don’t ignore it.
Let it slide and the damage just gets worse — and more expensive.
Leaking Chimney? Probably the Flashing
One of the most common problems we fix — lead flashing that’s failed.
Just a small gap is enough to let water in.
It gets into the loft, bedroom ceilings, walls, everywhere.
Sometimes it’s the lead apron, sometimes the step flashing.
Either way, we can replace it fast.
And if we’re already up there, we’ll check the pots, caps, pointing, and brickwork too.
Don’t want to mess with scaffolding or heights?
Cool. We’ll handle the whole lot.

Chimney Repointing in Stoke
Bricks flaking?
Mortar falling out?
You need repointing.
It’s cheaper to sort this early before you’re paying for full rebuilds or water damage.
We can quote from the ground, but the best call is to get up there and inspect the stack.
We’ll check:
-
Mortar joints
-
Crown condition
-
Flashings
-
Caps and cowls
-
Overall structure
Repointing is one of the best ways to extend the life of your chimney.
We do it quickly, neatly, and we clean up after ourselves.
Need Your Chimney Relined?
Poor draft?
Smoke not going up like it should?
Heating system backfiring?
You probably need a flue liner installed.
We handle stainless steel liner installs for gas, solid fuel and wood burning stoves.
This gives you better draw, more efficient burning, and stops gas or smoke leaking into the loft.
Some heating engineers don’t do roof work — that’s where we come in.
We get up there, drop in the liner, seal everything up, and make it safe.
If your stack’s not being used, we can cap it off and stop condensation building up.
Pots, Cowls, and Caps Fitted
Wonky pots?
Birds nesting?
Water running down the flue?
We sort it all:
-
Pot replacements
-
Fitting cowls or caps to stop water, birds, and wind
-
Crown repairs to stop water soaking the brickwork
We’ll also check for debris inside the flue and recommend a sweep if it’s needed before repairs.

Depends on the job. Small flashing repair? Could be under £200. Full rebuild? You’re looking at £400+. Best thing is to call us for a quick quote.
