Who We Are
Professional Chimney Capping and Repair Solutions
Not every redundant chimney needs to be removed. If you wish to keep the architectural character of your stack but no longer use the fireplace, chimney capping is an essential maintenance task. An uncapped, unused flue allows rainwater and birds to enter, leading to damp walls and internal damage.Our capping service involves installing breathable vents or cowls that prevent water ingress while still allowing the flue to 'breathe,' preventing the buildup of condensation. We also provide extensive chimney repairs in Bolton, including chimney stack repair and repointing. Using high-quality mortar and traditional techniques, we restore the structural integrity of your stack to withstand the Lancashire elements.If your chimney is currently in use but leaking, we can inspect and replace your lead flashing or repair the lead valleys to ensure a perfect seal between the masonry and your roof tiles.

01254 963068Is Planning Permission Required for Chimney Removal?
A common question from homeowners in Bolton and Lancashire is whether they need local authority approval for chimney work. In most cases, removing a chimney stack is considered 'Permitted Development' and does not require formal planning permission. However, there are two important exceptions: if your property is a Listed Building or if you are located within a Conservation Area.While planning permission might not be needed, Building Regulations approval is almost always required for the removal of a chimney breast. This is because the stack is a heavy structural element, and its removal affects the stability of the remaining walls and the roof above. We handle the complexities of Lancashire local authority building control on your behalf, ensuring your project is fully compliant and safe. We also hold full Public Liability Insurance for your total peace of mind.
