Taverham is a leafy village that has grown significantly since the 1970s, sitting alongside the Wensum valley north-west of Norwich, and both its older cottages and its later suburban homes can develop chimney stack problems that need prompt attention.
The original village core around Taverham Road includes older Norfolk brick properties where chimney stacks may have original lime mortar that has weathered unevenly, especially on the north-facing sides most exposed to wind and rain. In the larger estates developed from the 1980s onwards, stacks are now old enough to show failing pointing and cracked flaunching, which allows water to track down into the chimney breast and cause damp internally.
A leaning or visibly deteriorating stack should be assessed before another winter sets in, particularly on two-storey properties where a collapsed stack represents a real danger. We offer free chimney surveys in Taverham and can advise on the right approach - full rebuild, partial rebuild or repoint - based on what we actually find.
