Narborough village properties — many of them older flint and brick houses along the Nar valley — often have disused chimney stacks that are best removed before they cause lasting damp damage.
Narborough sits on the River Nar between King's Lynn and Swaffham, a village with a good number of period cottages and farmhouses built from local flint and red brick. These older properties often have two or three stacks, not all of which served bedrooms or living rooms that still use solid fuel. A redundant stack in the Nar valley is particularly prone to damp because the valley traps moisture and the stacks lose heat quickly, causing condensation inside the unused flue.
We remove the stack to below roof level, take care not to disturb surrounding flint or brick work on the gable wall, and reinstate the roof covering — usually plain clay or Norfolk pantile on properties here. A fitted vent finalises the job and keeps the flue safe and ventilated. Call us for a free chimney survey in Narborough or the surrounding villages.
