Gayton is a well-kept mid-Norfolk village with a variety of older brick and flint properties where redundant chimney stacks are a common source of damp — we remove them to below roof level and reinstate the covering properly.
Gayton sits between King's Lynn and Fakenham, a village with genuine character and a housing mix that ranges from seventeenth-century farmhouses and Victorian brick villas to post-war bungalows. The older properties in Gayton were built with large, high stacks to draw solid-fuel fires across two or three floors, and these stacks are expensive to maintain in good order once the fireplaces are sealed. Replacement mortar, lead flashings and pointing on a tall Gayton stack can cost more than a full take-down over a ten-year period.
We take the stack down to below the roof level, work carefully around any lime-bedded ridge tiles or hand-made clay plain tiles that are worth preserving, and fit a ventilated cap to the flue.
