East Harling's traditional Norfolk cottages and farmhouses regularly need chimney stacks taken down and rebuilt properly — not just patched for another few years.
East Harling is a sizeable village in the Breckland district south of Attleborough, surrounded by farmland and managed forest. The older housing in the village centre includes flint-and-brick cottages, former agricultural workers' dwellings, and a number of substantial Victorian houses, many of which still have their original chimney stacks. These stacks have often been repointed with hard cement mortar in the past, which accelerates brick deterioration by trapping moisture rather than letting it breathe.
We dismantle decayed stacks carefully — salvaging original flint facings or old handmade bricks where they're still sound — and rebuild using lime-based mortars appropriate to the construction. East Harling is just a few miles from our Thetford base, so we can respond quickly. Ring us to arrange a free chimney survey at roof level.
