Taverham's largely 1970s and 1980s residential estates contain many homes where builder-grade chimney stacks were added as standard but are now entirely redundant.
Unlike older parts of Norfolk, most of Taverham's housing was built during a narrow window when chimney stacks were still included for aesthetics or future use but gas central heating was already standard. These stacks were never particularly well-built, and after forty or fifty years without maintenance they can shift, shed mortar and let water into the roof structure through failed lead flashings. Many Taverham homeowners are surprised to find the stack is the cause of a persistent damp patch in an upstairs room.
Taking the stack down to below roof level and making good with matching concrete tiles is straightforward work on these houses, and it removes an ongoing maintenance liability in one visit. We cover Taverham regularly from our Aylsham base and can usually offer a free survey within the week.
