Chimneys
Chimneys are exposed to some of the harshest weather conditions on a property and can deteriorate over time. Damaged mortar, defective leadwork, cracked masonry, deteriorated flaunching and damaged chimney pots can all create problems for the chimney and surrounding roof.
Chimney Repairs in Huddersfield & West Yorkshire
At Lindley Developments, we carry out chimney repairs and associated roofing work throughout Huddersfield and West Yorkshire.
Chimney Repairs & Maintenance
Regular inspection and timely repairs can help prevent minor chimney defects from developing into more serious problems.
Our roofing team can assess the condition of your chimney and identify issues such as:
We can then advise on the most appropriate repair.
Leadwork Around Chimneys
The junction between a chimney and the roof is particularly important because it needs to prevent water from entering the property.
Defective or deteriorated lead flashing can allow water to penetrate around the chimney and into the roof structure.
We can inspect existing leadwork and carry out repairs or replacement where required, ensuring the junction between the chimney and roof is properly weatherproofed.
Repointing & Masonry Repairs
Mortar joints can deteriorate through prolonged exposure to rain, frost and changing temperatures.
Where appropriate, damaged pointing can be removed and renewed to help protect the chimney structure from further weather damage.
If more significant masonry defects are identified, we’ll explain the issue and discuss the available options before proceeding.
Chimney Removal
In some circumstances, a chimney may no longer be required or may have deteriorated to the point where removal is considered.
Where chimney removal is appropriate, the work needs to be carefully planned and completed correctly, including making good the roof structure and weatherproofing the area once the chimney has been removed.
We’ll assess the property and advise on the appropriate approach.
Chimney Repairs & Your Roof
Chimney problems are often closely connected to roofing problems. Leaks around chimneys can be caused by defective flashing, damaged roof coverings or problems with the roof-to-chimney junction.
As experienced roofing contractors, we can assess both the chimney and surrounding roof rather than treating them as separate issues.
