Poringland Roofers provides chimney stack rebuilds in Bowthorpe, working on the estate's 1970s and 1980s homes where stack deterioration is now a common issue.
Bowthorpe was developed largely from the late 1970s onward as a planned residential area on the western edge of Norwich. Many of the semi-detached and detached homes built during this period have single chimney stacks serving gas fires or back boilers that may have been capped but not maintained. Even unused stacks are exposed to weather, and the lightweight concrete bricks used on some Bowthorpe properties are prone to surface erosion and mortar joint failure after forty or more years.
A failing stack on a 1980s home is just as much a structural hazard as one on a Victorian terrace. We rebuild from the roofline up, repoint or relay brickwork, and re-flash properly so the stack is weathertight whether it remains in use or not.
