Chimney access
Explain whether the work is to the stack, pointing or flashing, and provide a view showing where the chimney sits on the roof. A high-level repair should be included explicitly in the brief.

Access to suit the work
A precise repair. A clear working position.
For a Bishopthorpe enquiry, describe the part of the building that needs attention. A short chimney or flashing repair can still involve access considerations that are not visible in a close-up of the defect.
A chimney, roof edge and exterior wall are different working positions. Tell us which are included so the quotation can reflect the complete repair brief.
All scaffolding servicesRoofing & roofline access
If the chimney job forms part of wider roof repairs, identify the other roof edges involved. This allows the access requirements to be considered together rather than as unrelated requests.
Roofing scaffoldingDomestic & exterior work
For exterior painting, pointing or repairs, list the walls and approximate heights. Include any entrances or garden routes that matter while the scaffold is on hire.
Domestic scaffoldingAccess above a conservatory
A lower glazed roof beneath an upper wall or roofline needs to be shown in the enquiry. Send photographs of the structure and adjacent ground, even if the repair itself is small.

Access to the rear roofline
An eaves-level working platform along a residential rear elevation, arranged around the doors, windows and adjoining garage.
This photograph records roofline scaffolding in York, not a Bishopthorpe chimney project. It illustrates eaves access only; any platform needed for your chimney must be assessed separately for the repair.

Your property.
The practical details.
Start with the location of the repair, then explain the contractor’s access needs. The following information helps distinguish a chimney brief from general roof maintenance.
Request your quotationLocate the repair on the roof
Give the Bishopthorpe postcode and a wide roof photograph. Mark the chimney, roof edge or wall needing work so the working position is clear.
Ask the contractor about the platform
Share the contractor’s access requirements where known, including which sides of the repair they need to reach. You do not need to specify or design the scaffold yourself.
Add access and duration
Mention gates, lower roofs and structures beneath the work. Give the intended start and expected hire duration, including any other contractor using the access afterwards.

A few things
worth asking.
Can I request a quote just for access to a chimney?
Yes. Explain the repair and show the chimney’s position on the building. The arrangement depends on the required working area and the property, rather than the repair’s apparent size.
Should the chimney contractor tell me what scaffold is needed?
Ask them which areas and heights they need to reach and share those requirements with Sky High. You can enquire without a scaffold specification; the access needs to be assessed for the site.
Can the enquiry include roof repairs as well as the chimney?
Yes. Identify both from the beginning and provide the expected programme. Different working positions may need to be considered even if the same contractor carries out both tasks.
