Knowing Hedon’s stacks and exposure means our survey starts in the right place — around St Augustine’s, the “King of Holderness” — rather than treating every chimney the same.
Hedon falls under East Riding of Yorkshire Council, covering the HU12 postcodes. Chimney work almost always needs safe standing time at height, so we quote scaffold or a tower with a stated hire period; because stack access is the main cost, we batch the pointing, flaunching, pot and flashing work into one visit so you pay for access once. On older Hedon streets with no rear access, scaffold loads from the front under a East Riding of Yorkshire Council permit, which we arrange.
Every quote is written and itemised with no call-out fee, and the same written 10-year workmanship guarantee applies to Hedon chimney work as everywhere we cover.
Hedon a historic market town east of Hull on the exposed Holderness plain, open to wind-driven rain sweeping off flat farmland, and that setting decides which chimney faults come up most.

Get a quote →The weathered mortar fillet around the pots recast with a clean fall, or renewed where it has broken away, so rainwater is thrown clear of the flue instead of tracking down inside.
Get a quote →The lead where roof meets stack renewed properly — dressed steps, soakers and back gutters — because a tired flashing here is behind most chimney-breast damp we're called to.
Get a quote →Damaged pots replaced and the right cowl or cap fitted for a live or disused flue, keeping out rain, birds and downdraught. Clay pots matched to the original where appearance counts.
Get a quote →Where a stack is loose or leaning it comes down to solid brickwork and goes back up matched course for course, finished with new lead and flaunching so the whole thing is sound again.
Get a quote →We check the full stack before pricing and give you an honest call on repair versus rebuild — no upselling a rebuild where good repointing will do the job. Common around St Augustine’s and the older Hedon streets.
