Lakenheath's flat, open position makes chimney stacks particularly vulnerable to wind damage, and a full rebuild is often the only lasting fix.
Lakenheath is a substantial Suffolk village sitting on the edge of the fenland, close to the Lakenheath Fen nature reserve and the well-known RAF base. The housing stock ranges from older brick terraces and council-era semis through to newer builds on the village's growing estates. On older properties, the chimney stacks regularly suffer from spalling brickwork and failed flaunching after years of exposure to the driving westerly winds that sweep across the open fen landscape.
We rebuild chimneys from the offset upward, carefully selecting bricks that match Suffolk Red or London Brick stock to keep the appearance consistent. Flashing is replaced in code lead as standard, and we fit a weathering cap where appropriate. Thetford Roofers are a short drive from Lakenheath — call us for a free chimney survey.
