Norwich has some of the most varied Victorian and Edwardian housing in Norfolk, and a redundant chimney stack on those older roofs is one of the most reliable routes to a persistent leak.
From the terraced streets of Lakenham and Earlham to the larger semi-detached properties around Unthank Road and Newmarket Road, Norwich homes were built with multiple stacks serving coal fires that have long since been blocked up. Those stacks are now sitting above the roofline doing nothing except collecting rainwater, growing moss, and slowly working mortar loose. We take them down cleanly, flash the opening properly, and re-tile or re-slate to match the existing roof covering.
We work regularly across all Norwich postcodes and carry full public liability insurance. If you are unsure whether your stack is worth keeping or removing, we will come out and give you an honest assessment free of charge before any decision is made.
