Chimney stacks repointed, rebuilt and flashed in properly by a team that does the brickwork and the roofing, not one or the other. Twenty minutes east, strongest on the west side.
Chimney Repairs for Homes in Walsall
The chimney ranks of west Walsall’s terraces are pure Black Country, shared stacks marching along party walls, worked hard through the leather town’s coal decades, now mostly retired and quietly weathering. Repoint, recast, cap and flash is the standard order; rebuilds in matched brick where the top courses are done; removals below the roofline where a dead stack has become pure liability.
We cover Walsall and the surrounding area: Pleck, Alumwell, Birchills, Caldmore, Palfrey and beyond (WS1, WS2, WS4).

How It Works
Chimney Repairs in Walsall, FAQs
We quote the stack as one job with a clear split, and can deal directly with the landlord or agent next door with your introduction. Shared stacks want one coordinated repair, and we do the paperwork legwork that makes it happen.
Always, a rebuilt stack in odd brick ruins a roofline, so we source matched or reclaimed brick and copy the original coursing. From the street it should look untouched, just straighter.
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.
