Chimney Repairs & Repointing in South Cave
Stone and brick chimneys crown most of South Cave's period cottages, and weather rolling off the Wolds slowly opens their mortar joints, cracks the flaunching and lifts old lead flashings. We repoint sympathetically, rebuild stacks where frost has done real damage, and renew flashings in code lead that will outlast the pointing around it. It's careful work on the village's Market Place cottages and equally at home on chimneys in Brantingham, Ellerker and North Cave.

Chimney Repairs in South Cave: local factors
A house of the mid-18th century — 27 Pinfold is one — predates cement mortar altogether, and repointing a stack of that age in a hard modern mix does more harm than good; lime is the usual answer on historic masonry. Removing a stack alters the roofline for good, and since permission or consent can be needed, East Riding of Yorkshire Council is the first place to check.
