Burwell is one of the larger Cambridgeshire fen-edge villages, and its mix of older cottages, chalk-built properties and Victorian terraces presents a range of chimney challenges we know well.
Burwell has an unusually varied building stock for a village its size — there are chalk clunch-built older homes near the historic castle earthworks, Victorian brick terraces and a number of interwar semis, all with chimneys in varying states of repair. The open fen edge position means wind-driven rain is a persistent problem, and lime mortar on older stacks erodes faster than most homeowners realise until a pot shifts or water starts getting in around the flashing.
Chimney rebuilds in Burwell typically involve clearing failed brickwork to a solid course, rebuilding with matched brick and correctly specified mortar, and finishing with new flaunching and re-seated pots.
