The roofs in Beverley
Beverley's older roofs are frequently still carrying their original clay pantile, and on a lot of them the tile has plenty of life left. What has gone is everything holding it in place. That is a very different quote to a full re-roof, and it is the sort of thing a proper survey settles.
Beverley has a large conservation area around the Minster and Saturday Market, so on older property in the centre the covering and the detailing need to be sympathetic as well as watertight.
Beverley's older property carries plenty of original stacks in soft brick, where repointing has to use a suitable mix rather than a hard modern mortar. Inside the conservation area that detail matters, and we will talk it through before quoting.
What chimney flashing and leadwork in Beverley involves
- Removals and capping offRedundant stacks taken down and the roof made good, or capped and vented if you want to keep the look.
- Back guttersThe gutter behind the stack rebuilt properly, which is where a lot of stack leaks actually come from.
- RebuildsTaking a stack down to sound brickwork and rebuilding, where the top courses have blown or the stack is unsafe.
That is the short version. There is a fuller explanation of the work, the materials and the detailing on our chimney flashing and leadwork page.
Signs your Beverley property needs this
- Cracked flaunching around the pots or a pot sitting loose
- Mortar joints open, soft or missing on the stack
- Damp patches on the chimney breast in an upstairs bedroom
Why mastic on a chimney is a warning sign
If you look up at a stack and see black or grey sealant along the top edge of the lead, that is usually somebody's repair rather than the original detail. Lead flashing should be dressed into a raked out mortar joint and wedged, then pointed. Done that way it moves with the building and sheds water for decades.

FAQs
Chimney and leadwork in Beverley, questions we get asked
Do I need to have the chimney swept first?
Not for our work. If the flue is still in use we would say get it swept anyway, but flashings and pointing do not depend on it.
Can you take a chimney down?
Yes, either back to roof level with the roof made good and re-covered over it, or to below the ceiling if you want the space inside. Both are common and we quote them as separate options.
Do you cover Beverley?
Yes. Beverley is covered by our Hull office on 01482 961 240, and chimney flashing and leadwork is one of the services we run there every week. We also cover Cottingham and Bransholme from the same office.
How quickly can you get to Beverley for chimney flashing and leadwork?
Ring the Hull office on 01482 961 240 and we will give you a real date rather than a flattering one. Beverley is about 8 miles north west of Hull, so it is part of that team's normal patch.
Can you do other work while you are on the roof in Beverley?
Yes, and it usually saves money. Once access is up, picking up the guttering, a chimney or a valley costs the labour and materials rather than a second lot of scaffold.
How soon can you start?
It depends on the size of the job and what is already in the diary. We will give you an honest lead time at quote stage rather than promising next week and turning up next month.
