Chimney Work

Chimneys are one of the most exposed parts of any building, taking the full force of Yorkshire weather year after year. Summit Roofing Services provides comprehensive chimney maintenance, repair, and rebuilding services to keep your chimney structurally sound and watertight.

Our chimney services include full repointing with appropriate lime or cement mortars (we always use lime mortar on older properties to prevent moisture trapping), rebuilding of unstable chimney stacks, fitting and replacing chimney pots and cowls, and installing lead or code 4 flashings where the chimney meets the roof slope.

A poorly maintained chimney is one of the most common sources of roof leaks. Cracked render, eroded mortar joints, and failed flashings all allow water to penetrate, causing damp and staining inside your home. We carry out thorough chimney inspections and provide clear recommendations — sometimes a relatively simple repoint and re-flash is all that is needed.

For chimneys that are no longer in use, we can fit ventilated cowls to prevent rain ingress whilst maintaining airflow to avoid condensation. All our chimney work is carried out safely from scaffolding and is guaranteed.
