Sea air and strong onshore winds make Hunstanton one of the toughest environments for chimney stacks on the whole of the Norfolk coast — we rebuild them using materials and methods that stand up to what the Wash throws at them.
Hunstanton faces north-west directly across the Wash, which means chimney stacks here take punishment that inland properties simply don't see. The town has a distinctive mix of Victorian seaside villas, red-and-white-banded carstone terraces on the older streets, and 1930s bungalows extending toward Old Hunstanton. Salt-laden air accelerates mortar erosion and corrodes standard flashing quickly — stacks that would last forty years in King's Lynn can be dangerously open within twenty years here. We use a lime-based bedding mortar suited to coastal exposure and specify heavy-gauge lead for all flashing work in this area.
Carstone is a local sandstone that needs careful matching when rebuilding — we source appropriate brick and stone to keep the character of Hunstanton's older properties intact. If your stack is leaning or showing open joints, call us for a free roof survey before the autumn storms arrive.
