Fakenham's mix of Georgian town-centre properties and post-war housing means chimney problems here range from tall ornate stacks to neglected utility flues — and both need proper rebuilding, not temporary repairs.
The older brick-built terraces and market-town townhouses around Bridge Street and Oak Street often carry full-height stacks with multiple flues, where cracked haunching and eroded pointing is easy to miss from the ground until masonry actually shifts. Fakenham sits in a river valley but is not sheltered from the strong north-westerly winds that roll across north Norfolk's open farmland, and those winds work mortar joints loose over the years.
We strip back to sound brickwork, rebuild in matched brick where needed, re-haunch the pots, and fit new code-4 lead flashings as standard. We're on-site in Fakenham quickly — call to book a no-obligation roof and chimney inspection.
