Cromer's seafront exposure and Victorian holiday-town heritage mean chimney stacks here face some of the harshest conditions on the Norfolk coast - and neglected ones deteriorate faster than almost anywhere else inland.
The terraced guesthouses, Victorian villas and Edwardian semis that line Cromer's streets were built with tall, prominent chimney stacks. Salt-laden wind off the North Sea attacks mortar joints relentlessly, and stacks that are no longer in use can become seriously unstable within a decade of a property switching to gas or oil. A stack that leans over a footpath or shared boundary in a coastal town like Cromer is a real liability.
We take down redundant stacks to below roof level, re-slate or re-tile the opening and bed in new lead flashings where needed. If your Cromer property has a chimney that hasn't been used since the 1990s, it's worth having us up to take a look before the next autumn storms arrive.
