Specialist Chimney Repair & Drone Inspections in Birmingham

Water coming through your chimney is usually caused by failed lead flashings, cracked mortar joints, or a damaged chimney pot. We start with a thorough inspection — often using our drone survey service — to identify exactly where water is getting in, then provide a targeted repair rather than unnecessary rebuilding.

A cracked chimney stack can be a serious structural concern, especially if the mortar joints are also deteriorating. Frost damage, sulphate attack, and general weathering are common causes in the West Midlands. We'll assess whether repointing and brick replacement will solve the problem, or whether a partial or full rebuild is needed.

Chimney repointing costs depend on the size of the stack, its height, and the access required. Every chimney is different, so we provide a no-obligation quote after a site visit or drone inspection so you know exactly what's involved before any work begins.

Not necessarily. Our drone inspection service can capture high-resolution imagery of your chimney stack from every angle without scaffolding. This saves time and money, and we provide a detailed written report with photos so you can see exactly what condition your chimney is in.

Failing chimney mortar doesn't always mean a full rebuild. In many cases, professional repointing with the correct lime or cement mortar will restore the stack for decades. We'll assess the depth of deterioration and recommend the most practical solution — we never over-specify work.

Yes. We replace chimney pots, fit cowls, and install bird guards as part of our chimney maintenance service. If a pot is cracked or loose, it's important to address it before it becomes a hazard — especially in high winds. We can match traditional pot styles for period properties.
