Chimneys need to be properly maintained and should be inspected at least every 30 years or so to ensure that they remain safe. Cement that is exposed to high winds and driving rain on a regular basis will deteriorate over the years and begin to flake away potenially making the brickwork on the chimney stack and the chimney pots themselves more susceptible to storm damage. The last thing any homeowner wants is for falling masonry or chimney pots to come crashing to the ground damaging your roof on the way down and potentially causing a real hazard to anyone who may be standing below.
We provide chimney repair and maintenance services throughout Hull, East Yorkshire and nearby areas. From repointing and masonry repairs to chimney capping and weatherproofing, we help keep chimney structures secure and protect surrounding roof areas.
Central heating has reduced the need for chimneys in more recent years, so many chimneys are now effectively redundant. However, they do form part of a building’s design so removing them may not always be desirable or permitted especially if you live in a conservation area or in a Listed Building for example. We also fit chimney cowls to prevent birds from nesting or becoming trapped in chimneys. Whatever chimney work you require, trust local chimney experts E.Riding & Humber Roofing to carry it out safely and professionally.

Older chimneys are more susceptible to storm damage and should be inspected every 30 years or so and repointed as necessary. That’s because the cement holding the bricks of the stack together and the chimney pots in place begins to deteriorate over time causing the chimney to become less stable.
A chimney would only need to be rebuilt if multiple sections of the chimney stack needed masonry repair. Otherwise, repointing is all that is required to ensure the mortar work remains intact.
Done properly, chimney repointing work involves chiselling out the old mortar cement and replacing it with new mortar. Done properly, it means your chimney should last at least another 25 to 30 years without further repair. That’s why it’s important to choose a professional roofer such as E.Riding & Humber Roofing to carry out this work.
