Blakeney's historic flint-and-brick cottages are full of character, but their ageing chimneys can quickly become a structural liability — we remove them safely, from top to roof line or down to slab.
Much of Blakeney's housing stock dates from the 18th and 19th centuries, built in the distinctive North Norfolk style with Norfolk flint walls and clay pantile roofs. The salt-laden air off the estuary accelerates mortar decay, and many of these stacks were never relined or properly capped — leaving them loose, leaking, and in some cases actively pushing water into the upper floors.
We work regularly in Blakeney and understand the sensitivities around planning and conservation on High Street and the quayside streets. A chimney take-down here needs care — sheet scaffolding, careful lime-mortar patching, and a pantile-matched slate finish to keep the roofline looking right. Call us to arrange a free chimney survey before the next storm season.
