We carry out chimney take-downs throughout Stowmarket, helping homeowners remove redundant stacks safely and get the roof properly made good afterwards.
Stowmarket has a solid mix of Victorian mill-workers' terraces near the town centre and post-war semis on the edges of town, many in roads off the Ipswich Street and Union Road areas. Older properties here often have two or more stacks that serve fireplaces long since converted to gas or sealed over. A disused stack is just dead weight on the roof structure, and in a town that sees its share of wet Suffolk winters, an uncapped or deteriorating chimney is a reliable source of damp.
We dismantle the stack down to below the roofline, make good the tiles or slates, install adequate lead flashing and leave everything weathertight. Ring us to book a no-obligation chimney survey at your Stowmarket property.
