Chimney Repairs Landlords across Burnley
Landlords calling us are usually balancing three things at once — tenant safety, void time, and the invoice trail their accountant needs.
How the chimney repairs job runs for landlords
We coordinate access directly with the tenant, work around agreed hours, and never leave the property open overnight. Payment terms and invoice format are agreed in writing before we start.
Typical duration: 2–5 days depending on whether a rebuild or removal is needed.
The brief we work to when the client is a landlord
On chimney repairs jobs for landlords, the priorities are usually predictable — and different from a walk-in domestic call. Here's what we plan around on a Burnley tenanted terraces job.
- Same-week attendance to avoid escalating tenant complaints
- Documented make-safe so the property meets basic habitability
- Itemised VAT invoices addressed to the landlord or letting agent
- Photographs before and after every visit for the tenancy file
- Options that protect the roof for the next 5–10 year hold
What you get in writing
Every chimney repairs job for landlords in Burnley closes with the same paperwork so nothing is verbal.
- Itemised written quote (VAT-separated)
- Photographic before/after record
- Written workmanship guarantee
- Emailed invoice within 24 hours of completion
The chimney repairs work itself
Chimneys are usually the most exposed part of any roof and the first thing to fail. We repoint cracked mortar joints, rebuild the top courses where bricks have spalled, renew lead flashings and aprons, and — when the chimney is no longer used — remove it cleanly back to roof level with the slates or tiles made good above.
FAQs — Landlords in Burnley
