Watlington is a small Norfolk village where solid brick inter-war and post-war houses often carry chimney stacks long past their useful life — we take them down safely and reinstate the roof covering.
Watlington sits just south of King's Lynn on the A10, a compact village with a mix of 1930s council-built housing and older brick cottages. The brick stacks on these properties were typically built for open coal ranges that were removed decades ago. Once the fireplace is blocked up below, the stack above tends to get ignored until cracks appear or a damp patch shows on the chimney breast wall.
We take the redundant stack down to below roof level, cut back any lead or mortar flashing cleanly, and re-tile using matching materials. A fitted flue vent prevents moisture and jackdaw nesting — both common problems in village properties this close to open farmland. Ring us to arrange a free chimney inspection at a time that suits you.
