Chimney Repairs in Ilkeston Operating Across Derbyshire
Expert chimney repairs for Ilkeston homes
Have you taken a good look up at your chimney stack lately? It’s easy to forget about, tucked away high above your roofline, but your chimney actually takes the worst of the Derbyshire weather. From the biting winter frosts to the heavy downpours we get here in Ilkeston, that masonry is constantly under pressure. At Better Choice Roofing & Cleaning, we’ve spent years helping our neighbours across Erewash keep their chimneys safe, sturdy, and completely watertight. Whether you’re worried about a loose brick or you’ve spotted debris on your driveway after a gale, we’re the local team you can trust to get it sorted without any fuss.
Why Choose Us?
Stop damp ruins before they start
Imagine you’re tucked up in bed during a storm and you notice a dark, damp patch forming on the ceiling right next to the chimney breast. It’s a sinking feeling, isn’t it? Most homeowners we speak to in Ilkeston assume they need a whole new roof, but often, the culprit is a small failure in the chimney’s lead flashing or porous mortar joints. Water is sneaky—it’ll find the tiniest gap in your chimney stack and work its way down into your rafters. We specialise in tracing these leaks to their source, providing targeted repairs that save you a fortune in interior redecorating costs later on.

Who We Are
Durable repointing and brickwork restoration
Is the mortar between your chimney bricks looking a bit sandy or starting to crumble away? That’s what we call mortar decay, and if it’s left alone, your chimney can actually become structurally unsafe. We provide professional chimney repointing across Erewash, carefully raking out the old, perished material and replacing it with high-quality mortar that stands up to the elements. We also keep an eye out for 'spalling'—that’s when the faces of the bricks start to flake off. If your stack is looking a bit tired, a professional repoint not only makes it safer but also gives your home’s kerb appeal a real boost.

Watertight lead flashing and valley repairs
The spot where your chimney meets your roof tiles is a notorious weak point for leaks. That’s why lead flashing is so important; it acts as a waterproof bridge between the brickwork and the tiles. Over time, lead can crack or pull away from the wall, especially on older Ilkeston terraces. If you've noticed water ingress during heavy rain, our team can carry out expert lead flashing repairs, ensuring a snug, weatherproof seal. We don’t cut corners with cheap sealants; we use traditional leadwork techniques that are designed to last for decades.

0115 647 1479Secure chimney pots and protective capping
Do you have a chimney pot that looks a bit wonky? Or perhaps you're tired of birds nesting in an unused flue? Loose chimney pots are a serious hazard, especially when the wind picks up across the East Midlands. We can safely re-bed your pots into fresh mortar (a process known as flaunching) to make sure they aren't going anywhere. For chimneys that aren't being used for a fire or boiler, we highly recommend chimney capping. It’s a simple, cost-effective way to keep rain and nesting birds out while still allowing the flue to breathe, preventing internal dampness and salt staining on your walls.
