Great Massingham is a quiet chalk-belt village with a good number of older flint and brick properties whose chimney stacks have often gone decades without proper attention.
Many homes here date from the Victorian era or earlier, built with local carr-stone or knapped flint combined with brick detailing — including the chimney stacks themselves. These materials need lime mortar, not modern cement, and we always match the mix to what's already there to avoid cracking the surrounding masonry. Stacks on older properties in the village and on the lanes running toward Harpley and Massingham Heath tend to show significant joint erosion and frost damage.
We rebuild from the flashing line upward, sourcing brick to match where needed, and fit new lead flashing and a weathered pot as standard. Call us to arrange a free inspection if your stack is visibly leaning or you're seeing damp patches inside on chimney breast walls.
