Chimney Repairs & Repointing in Selby
The chimney stacks rising over Selby's terraced streets have watched the Abbey for a century or more, and many are now shedding mortar, cracking their flaunching and letting water past tired lead. We repoint, re-flaunch and renew flashings in code lead, and where a stack is redundant we can take it down cleanly and tile over. From the town centre out to Barlby and Sherburn-in-Elmet, every chimney job is fully insured to five million pounds.

Chimney Repairs in Selby: local factors
Listed buildings stand thickest around the Abbey and along Gowthorpe, Finkle Street and Micklegate. Older brickwork generally wants a lime-based mortar rather than a hard cement mix, which traps moisture and spalls the face. Changing or taking down a stack on a listed building calls for listed building consent, while scaffolding standing on a public pavement needs a licence issued by the highway authority. Raise both with North Yorkshire Council early.
