Wisbech is a town of real architectural variety — Georgian merchant houses on the North Brink, long streets of Victorian working terraces, and post-war estates — and chimney take-downs are one of the most common roofing jobs we carry out there.
The Victorian terraces throughout Wisbech — particularly in the streets off Lynn Road and around the Horsefair — tend to have tall, single-flue stacks that were built for coal fires and have been redundant for fifty years or more. When the flaunching cracks and the lead flashings fail, these stacks leak directly into the party wall zone, causing damp that can be mistaken for rising damp until the source is properly traced.
We remove the stack cleanly at or just below the roof deck, install a lead tray and soakers, and tile over with matching clay or concrete tiles. For the older properties in the conservation area near the Brink, we take extra care to source appropriate materials. Call us to book a free chimney inspection anywhere in Wisbech.
