Why this survey matters in Hull

Water rarely travels in a straight line from a failed chimney flashing. By the time staining appears indoors, masonry, felt and timber may already be wet. A focused chimney and ridge inspection checks pots, flaunching, pointing, leadwork, soakers and ridge bedding or mechanical systems so you can stop the problem at source.

Who it is for

  • ✓ Homeowners with ceiling stains near chimney breasts
  • ✓ Owners noticing crumbling mortar or leaning pots
  • ✓ Buyers concerned about ridge movement after storms
  • ✓ Landlords scheduling seasonal maintenance checks

What the survey includes

  • ✓ Visual assessment of chimney stack stability and pointing
  • ✓ Check of pots, cowls and flaunching condition
  • ✓ Inspection of step flashings, cover flashings and soakers
  • ✓ Ridge and hip line review including cracked mortar or loose tiles
  • ✓ Notes on abutment junctions with neighbouring roofs where visible
  • ✓ Photographs highlighting priority defects

How the process works

STEP 01

Locate the symptoms

We discuss indoor staining, previous repairs and wind exposure on your street.

STEP 02

Inspect junctions closely

Chimneys, ridges and abutments are checked from safe vantage points, with drone support where useful.

STEP 03

Specify the fix

Your report explains whether leadwork, repointing, rebedding or more substantial stack work is needed.

Frequently asked questions

Do you go onto the chimney?

We use safe methods suited to the property. Where close access is unsafe, we use binoculars or drone imagery and state any limitations clearly.

Can failed flashings cause damp downstairs?

Yes. Water can track through voids and appear far from the entry point, which is why junction inspections matter.

Are shared chimneys included?

We inspect what is safely visible and note party-wall or neighbour implications where relevant.
