Poringland Roofers removes unused chimney stacks for homeowners across Sprowston, a suburb where interwar and post-war housing dominates the streetscape.
Sprowston expanded rapidly between the 1930s and 1960s, and the majority of its housing stock reflects that - pebbledash-rendered semis and brick-built detacheds on roads like Blue Boar Lane and Wroxham Road, most with at least one original chimney stack that served an open hearth long since boarded over. These stacks sit on relatively shallow pitch roofs, and when the flaunching around the pots fails, water gets in fast and spreads across the roof structure before it becomes obvious inside.
We take the stack down to below the roof line, make good the rafters and felt, and retile or re-slate to match what is already there. Sprowston is on our doorstep from Poringland, so call us to arrange a free site visit and we can usually get out quickly.
