Chimney Repairs in Bakewell Operating Across Derbyshire
Expert chimney care for Bakewell homes
Living in Bakewell, we're all used to the stunning views of the Derbyshire Dales, but those same hills bring some fairly tough weather. Your chimney stack is the highest point of your house, meaning it takes the full brunt of every Peak District storm. Whether you’ve got a traditional stone stack on a cottage near the Rutland Arms or a more modern brick one, it’s easy to forget about it until a damp patch appears on the upstairs ceiling. At Better Choice Roofing & Cleaning, we've spent years helping your neighbours keep their chimneys secure and their homes dry. We're not about fancy jargon; we're just local lads who know how to fix a leaky stack properly.
Why Choose Us?
Watch for these warning signs up top
Most homeowners we speak to in the Derbyshire Dales only realise there’s a problem when they find bits of mortar on the driveway or hear a strange rattling during a windy night. Have you noticed any grass or weeds growing out of the top? That’s usually a sign that the mortar has turned to soil. Other things to look out for include 'spalling'—where the faces of the bricks start flaking off—or lead flashing that looks like it’s pulled away from the stone. If you've spotted any of these, it's worth getting us out for a quick look. It's much cheaper to repoint a few joints now than to rebuild the whole stack after it's become a safety hazard.

Who We Are
Stop leaks with professional lead flashing
That lead 'skirt' where your chimney meets the roof tiles is the most common place for leaks to start. In older Bakewell properties, the mortar holding that lead in place can crack over time, letting rainwater seep straight down into your roof timbers. We specialise in lead flashing repairs, ensuring that seal is tight and tucked in correctly. We don’t just slap a bit of sealant over it; we do the job properly so you don't have to worry the next time the heavens open. Whether it’s a simple repair or a full replacement of the lead valleys, we’ll make sure your roof stays weather-tight and secure.

Repointing and rebuilding for lasting strength
The mortar between your bricks or stones isn't just there for looks—it’s what keeps the whole thing standing. The 'freeze-thaw' cycle we get here in Derbyshire is brutal on chimneys. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and slowly pushes the mortar out. Our repointing service involves carefully raking out the old, sandy stuff and replacing it with fresh, durable mortar. If things have gone a bit further and the stack is actually leaning, don't panic. We can safely dismantle and rebuild chimney stacks, making them look as good as new while respecting the character of your property. We can even cap off chimneys that are no longer in use to prevent heat loss.

0115 647 1479Keep birds and rain out with cowls
Is there anything more annoying than a jackdaw nesting in your chimney? Or perhaps you’re fed up with the wind whistling down the flue? Fitting a chimney cowl or a bird guard is a simple, cost-effective fix. We supply and fit a variety of cowls in Bakewell that prevent birds from moving in and stop rain from pouring down the flue. If you’ve got a fireplace you don’t use, we can 'cap' it with a ventilated cover. This keeps the stack breathing so you don't get internal damp issues, but stops the worst of the Peak District weather from getting inside. Give us a ring on 0115 647 1479 to chat about which cowl is right for your home.
