Chimneys in St Helens
St Helens has street after street of Victorian terraces from its glassmaking and mining days, and those long rows carry tall brick stacks — often shared between two or three houses — where a hundred years of soot and weather have hollowed out the joints. Around Sutton, Parr and Thatto Heath these are the stacks most in need of repointing and fresh flaunching. The post-war estates towards Eccleston and Windle have plainer, lower stacks, but the ones on exposed corners still shed their pointing and shift their pots in a hard winter.
The platform is made for these streets. It sets up on the street frontage without scaffold going up over anyone's yard, which is half the battle on a terrace, and a shared stack can be repointed and re-flaunched in a single visit rather than a week of poles and boards along the party wall. Travel from Runcorn is included in the quote whichever end of the town you are, and a photo of the stack from the pavement is usually enough for us to start pricing the job.
Level With the Stack, No Scaffold
We do the whole job in St Helens from our operated vehicle-mounted platform. It sets up on the drive or kerbside in minutes and lifts our operator level with the stack, so the mortar is raked out and repointed with the chimney in front of him rather than reached over a ridge from a ladder. Cracked or hollow flaunching is broken out and renewed, loose pots are re-bedded or replaced, and cowls and caps are fitted at the same time if you want them.
The debris comes down with us rather than into your gutters, and you get photos of the stack before we start and after we finish, so you can see what you paid for without going up a ladder yourself. Most St Helens chimneys are finished the same day, and every repair we carry out is guaranteed for two years.
