Our chase cover process for homes in The Roads
Approving related chase repairs together
A chase cover job often turns up related work: a storm collar past saving, a soft sheathing edge or siding that has taken water. You can approve them together or spread them out, and both are reasonable choices.
Every item you approve inside the 72 hours that follow your free inspection gets 10% off. Anything you approve later is priced at the estimate's written figure. We explain which repairs protect the new cover and which can wait safely, so the timing is your decision rather than a sales tactic.
Workmanship warranty and the maker's terms
Our workmanship warranty covers how the chase top was installed: the fit of the cover, its fastening and the seals at the pipe. Before you approve anything, we explain what it covers.
Parts that belong to the chimney system, like a replacement storm collar or cap, may carry their maker's own terms. We hand those on with the record of the job. If something looks wrong later, describe it to us. We then work out whether it comes from the installation, a part or something new, such as storm damage.
What the free inspection covers on a chase
The free inspection for a chase concern looks at the cover, its collar and seams, and the storm collar with its sealant. The cap on the pipe and the siding at the top of the walls are checked too, and so is anything you have noticed indoors.
Some of the chase stays out of sight until the old cover comes off, such as the framing top and the sheathing edge. We separate what we saw from what we suspect. Our findings come with a free written estimate, and what happens next is your call.
Arranging chase cover work for a home in The Roads
Booking a chase cover visit takes a short call. We ask what you have seen, whether the fireplace is used and whether you know the chimney maker, then agree a time to come out.
On the day, we look at the chase from the yard, the roof and inside near the fireplace. For homes in The Roads, the free inspection and the free written estimate work the same as for any other job we quote. The findings are explained before we leave, and the decisions stay with you.

Worth knowing before a chase cover is replaced
Should I paint my old chase cover to slow the corrosion?
Paint can slow surface corrosion on a cover that is otherwise sound, but it does not close holes or fix a flat top that holds water. We tell you honestly whether paint is worth it or the cover is past that point.
Does a chase cover need upkeep once it is fitted?
Occasional checks help. On a maintenance visit, we look at the fasteners, the sealant at the collar, the storm collar and any sign of standing water. Small fixes found early are easier than a new cover later.
Does your warranty cover the new chase cover?
Our workmanship warranty covers the installation work we carry out, and we explain what it covers before you approve. A listed chimney part may also carry its maker's terms, and we pass those on with the written record.
