Gayton is a larger-than-average village for this part of Norfolk, with a genuinely mixed housing stock that includes some handsome older brick houses where chimney stacks are an architectural feature worth protecting.
The village has properties ranging from the 17th and 18th century through to post-war housing, and the older stock around the village centre and near St Nicholas Church includes some tall, prominent stacks in red brick. These are the stacks we see crumbling at the top, sometimes with pots that have been loose for years and flashings that have completely parted company with the stack base. Gayton sits on slightly elevated ground compared to the surrounding farmland, and the stacks on two-storey properties here catch the wind on all sides.
We rebuild from the flashing line up, sourcing brick to match the existing colour and texture and bedding everything in the correct mortar. Lead flashing is replaced in full, not patched, and a weathered cap is fitted. Ask us for a free chimney survey if you've noticed crumbling mortar or water marks inside the chimney breast.
