Kesgrave's post-war and 1970s housing developments don't always look like candidates for chimney problems, but poorly built original stacks are a common issue we deal with across the area.
Much of Kesgrave was developed from the 1960s through the 1980s, and the chimneys on these houses were often built to basic standards with lower-quality mortar mixes. After forty or fifty years, these stacks frequently show horizontal cracking in the brickwork, failed flaunching around the pots, and loose coping bricks. Because these properties were not built with tall stacks, the problems can go unnoticed until water is already getting into the chimney breast inside.
We carry out chimney rebuilds across Kesgrave and into the neighbouring areas of Rushmere St Andrew and Martlesham. If you've noticed damp on a chimney breast wall or cracked rendering at the base of your stack, call us for a free inspection — catching it now is considerably cheaper than dealing with spread water damage later.
