Cambridge's mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, and older college-adjacent properties means chimney stacks here take a real battering from wind and frost — and we rebuild them properly, from scaffold, to last.
Much of Cambridge's housing stock dates from the late 1800s through to the 1930s, particularly in areas like Romsey, Petersfield, and the streets off Mill Road. Original lime-mortared stacks on these properties have often had cement repointing forced over the top, which traps moisture and accelerates spalling. When a stack starts to lean or the flaunching around the pot cracks away, it needs rebuilding from the roof line up — not patching.
We travel into Cambridge regularly from our Newmarket base, roughly 13 miles away on the A1303. We set up purpose-built scaffold on every chimney job — no ladders, no shortcuts. If your chimney is showing open joints, soft or crumbling brickwork, or a pot that has shifted, call us for a free chimney survey before the next hard frost makes it worse.
