Chimney Repairs for Homes in Tettenhall
Tettenhall’s chimneys are architecture in their own right, tall stacks with corbelled courses, oversailing caps and clusters of clay pots, and rebuilding one is bricklaying first and roofing second. We take failed stacks down to sound brick and put them back exactly as designed, matching brick, matching joints, original pots reset or replaced like-for-like.
We cover Tettenhall and the surrounding area: Tettenhall Wood, Upper Green, The Rock, Wergs, Newbridge and beyond (WV6).

How It Works
Chimney Repairs in Tettenhall, FAQs
Yes, that is the point of having bricklayers on the roof. We photograph and measure the stack before strip-down, salvage sound original brick, match the rest from reclaimed stock, and rebuild the corbels and caps as designed. Tettenhall stacks are meant to be seen and the rebuild should honour that.
It mostly changes the checks, live flues need their joints sound and their pots and cowls suited to the fuel. We handle the stack, flaunching and weatherproofing; if flue lining for a stove comes into it we will say plainly where our work ends and a HETAS installer should take over.
From the ground, look for gaps and shadows in the mortar joints, white staining, or a stack that reads crooked against the sky. Inside, damp patches on the chimney breast are the big tell. Binoculars from the garden will tell you a lot, and we will confirm properly from a ladder or scaffold.
It can be. Stacks lean when the mortar on the weather side wears faster, and a badly leaning stack in wind is a genuine risk to whatever is below. If yours has a visible lean, get it looked at soon. Making it safe is quick; rebuilding it is planned work, not an emergency, if caught early.
Usually the lead. Flashing that has split, lifted or been bodged with mastic lets water straight in at the joint between stack and roof. Cracked flaunching on top does the same. Both are standard fixes for us, and we check all three, brick, flaunching and lead, whenever we look at a leaking chimney.
