Finchingfield is arguably Essex's most photographed village, and its chimney stacks — sitting above some of the county's most characterful old properties — need expert hands when they go wrong.
The properties around Finchingfield's duck pond and up the hill towards the church and windmill include medieval timber-frame cottages, Georgian plaster-rendered farmhouses and Victorian brick terraces. Many of these have stacks that were originally built in the soft, sandy brick typical of north Essex, laid in lime mortar that has been weathering since the 1800s. Finchingfield sits within a conservation area, and any chimney rebuild here needs to respect both the materials and the visual character of the stack.
A chimney rebuild in a conservation village like Finchingfield typically costs between £1,400 and £3,000 depending on stack height, brick type and complexity. We carry out a full inspection before quoting and will always explain what the work involves before a penny is spent.
