Chimneys on the village properties through Welton and Brantingham have stood over a century of weather, and their mortar, flaunching and lead flashings eventually give way even when the brickwork looks sound. We repoint and re-flaunch stacks, renew flashings, and rebuild or remove chimneys that have become unsafe. Many of Brough's modern estate homes were built without chimneys at all — but where one exists and leaks, we'll find out exactly why.

Chimney Repairs in Brough: local factors
Chimneys count as part of the roofscape, and in a designated area the roofscape is part of the character worth protecting. Taking a stack down, or lowering its height, is the kind of change a designated area treats as needing consent, and East Riding of Yorkshire Council is the body to ask before it is specified. On stacks that stay, lead flashings are often the first part to go, splitting with thermal movement.

Recent chimney repairs & repointing in Brough
Cracked flaunching renewed and a cowl fitted
Brough
The flaunch — the mortar cap on top of this chimney in Brough — had cracked and was letting water straight into the stack, the usual cause of damp on a chimney breast. We stripped the old flaunch off, formed a fresh one with a proper weathering slope, and fitted a capping cowl to keep rain and birds out while still letting the flue breathe. A half-day job that spared the stack a full rebuild down the line.
