Newmarket's Georgian and Edwardian townhouses around the High Street and the stable yards are full of tall chimney stacks that haven't served a working fire in decades — we take them down safely and tile over the roof opening to a weather-tight finish.
The racing town has an unusually high proportion of period properties — many of them former jockeys' or stable hands' cottages dating from the late 1800s, alongside grander townhouses built for the racing fraternity. These buildings typically carry multiple chimney stacks, and the Suffolk clay-pantile or Welsh slate roofing beneath them is vulnerable to deteriorating flaunching and failed lead flashings when the stacks go unmaintained.
Removing a redundant stack below the roofline and making good the existing roof covering stops that leak risk and removes the repointing bill entirely. A chimney take-down in a mid-terrace Newmarket property typically takes one day. We're based in Haverhill — around fifteen miles away — and offer a free no-obligation survey before any work is agreed.
