Taverham grew rapidly from the 1970s onwards, but the older core of the village and the properties along Taverham Road include brick chimneys now reaching the age where flaunching cracks and mortar starts to fail.
Many of the detached and semi-detached houses built here in the seventies and eighties used standard sand-cement mortar that was never designed to last more than forty years without attention. Where a stack has been left past that point, the joint faces erode, water gets in behind the flashing and, in cold winters, accelerates the deterioration from inside the brick courses. By the time a crack is visible from the garden, a rebuild rather than a repair is usually the more cost-effective route.
We are a short drive from Taverham and carry out free chimney assessments across the village. We will tell you honestly whether a partial rebuild, a full stack rebuild or a simpler repair is what the stack actually needs.
