Chimney Repairs Bedale

Chimney repairs for Bedale homes and rural properties

Bedale and the surrounding villages have a mixture of brick terraces, stone-built homes, cottages and exposed rural properties. Chimneys can suffer when frost, wind and driving rain get behind failed pointing, cracked masonry or worn lead flashings.

A leak may show as damp around the chimney breast, a stain in the loft or water at the edge of a roof slope. We inspect the stack, flaunching, pots, soakers, flashings, back gutter and nearby slates or tiles to identify the route.

Our Bedale chimney repair services

• Lime mortar repairs where the existing building requires a breathable joint

Repair, rebuild or replace the leadwork?

The correct repair depends on the condition of the whole stack. Repointing can protect stable masonry, but it will not correct movement, deep cracking or water passing through the body of the chimney.

We set out the options clearly. Where rebuilding is necessary, defective sections are dismantled carefully, sound materials are retained where practical and new leadwork is dressed into the masonry. Concealed trays are added when the construction needs an internal route for intercepted water.

Frequently asked questions

Do you repair chimney stacks on rural properties near Bedale?

Yes. Send the postcode and photographs so we can confirm access and whether the project is within our current working area.

What is included in chimney leadwork?

Depending on the roof, work can include soakers, stepped side flashings, a front apron and a rear back gutter. Internal trays may be needed when water is travelling through the stack.

Can you use lime mortar on a Bedale cottage?

Where the existing masonry and construction are suitable, we use an appropriate lime mortar mix rather than applying the same cement-based repair to every building.
