Attleborough has a solid core of post-war and interwar housing where chimney stacks have been quietly deteriorating for decades — we're based nearby in Thetford and cover the town regularly.
A lot of the housing stock in Attleborough dates from the 1930s through to the 1970s, with brick-built semi-detached properties lining streets like Queens Road and the roads off the Surrogate Street end of town. Stacks on these houses were often built with a fairly thin course of brickwork and basic sand-and-cement flaunching that shrinks and cracks with age, eventually allowing water to track down inside the chimney breast and into the rooms below.
A full chimney rebuild — taking the stack down to below the roofline and rebuilding in matching brick with solid flaunching and new lead soakers — is often the most cost-effective fix once cracking has progressed beyond surface repointing. Chimney rebuilds in Attleborough typically cost between £900 and £1,800 depending on stack height and accessibility. Call us for a free survey and honest assessment of what your stack actually needs.
