Swaffham's older market town properties and exposed Norfolk setting make crumbling or leaning chimney stacks a problem we deal with regularly across the town.
The Georgian and Victorian terraces around the Market Place, along with the many older farmworker cottages on Swaffham's residential streets, tend to carry original brickwork that has been patched rather than properly rebuilt over the decades. Soft lime joints, spalled bricks and failed flaunching are common findings when we get on the roof. Left unchecked, a deteriorating stack allows water to track down inside the chimney breast and into the roof void — damage that spreads fast.
We rebuild chimney stacks in Swaffham using lime mortar to match the original construction, sourcing bricks that sit sympathetically alongside the existing flintwork and red brick that defines much of the town's character. We cover the full job from pot to below the roofline where needed, and we're on-site from our base in Downham Market within a short drive. Call us to arrange a free chimney survey before the weather closes in.
