Why Choose Us?
Does your chimney stack need removing or capping?
It can be difficult to decide whether a chimney needs a simple repair or a full removal. For many properties in Standish, chimneys that served old coal fires are now entirely redundant. These unused stacks still require regular maintenance, such as chimney repointing and lead flashing inspections, to prevent leaks. If you are not planning to use your fireplace again, removing the stack below the roofline is often the most cost-effective long-term solution.If you prefer to keep the chimney for aesthetic reasons or because your property is in a conservation area, professional chimney capping is essential. An uncapped, unused chimney acts like a giant funnel for rainwater, leading to internal damp and timber rot. We install high-quality chimney cowls and ventilated caps that allow the flue to breathe while keeping out birds, debris, and driving rain. Our team can assess the condition of your stack and recommend the best course of action to ensure your roof remains secure.

Who We Are
Expert chimney breast removal and structural safety
Removing an internal chimney breast is a popular way to reclaim floor space in Standish homes, but it is a task that must be handled with extreme care. The external chimney stack is incredibly heavy and relies on the internal structure for support. If you remove the breast without properly addressing the external stack, you risk a catastrophic structural failure. Lancashire Roofing Specialist works alongside homeowners and builders to ensure the external stack is either safely removed or supported with gallows brackets or steel beams.We understand the complexities of building regulations in the Wigan area. When we perform a chimney removal, we ensure that the remaining roof structure is reinforced correctly and that the new roofing materials—whether slate or tile—perfectly match your existing roof. This seamless finish not only maintains the curb appeal of your home but also ensures that the local authority building control standards are fully met. Safety is our priority, and we carry full Public Liability Insurance for your total peace of mind.
