Chimney Repairs & Repointing in Howden
The chimneys on Howden's older houses have stood over the town almost as long as the Minster has dominated its skyline, and most now need periodic repointing, fresh flaunching or new lead flashings to stay weathertight. We handle all of it, including full stack rebuilds and removals, using mortars and details appropriate to period brickwork. Because Gilberdyke is our home village, chimney work in Howden comes with genuinely local service and free quotations.

Chimney Repairs in Howden: local factors
On old brickwork a stack repair shows, so flaunching is renewed in full and eroded joints repointed in a mortar that suits soft brick rather than hard cement. Removing a stack, or altering its height, changes what can be seen from the street, so inside the conservation area or on a listed building it is a matter to put to East Riding of Yorkshire Council at the planning stage.
