Chimney Stack Rebuilds in Sprowston

Expert Chimney Rebuilds
in Sprowston

Sprowston grew rapidly through the mid-twentieth century and has a large number of 1950s and 1960s council-built and private semis, many of which retain their original chimney stacks. These stacks were often built with softer bricks and weaker lime mortar that struggles with repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Once the flaunching around a pot starts to crack or the mortar joints open up, the stack becomes unstable and water ingress follows quickly.

We strip the stack back to a sound course above the roofline and rebuild from there, matching brickwork as closely as possible and finishing with proper lead flashing rather than mortar fillet. Call us to arrange a free survey at your Sprowston property.
