Fordham is a quiet village between Newmarket and Soham with a good number of older brick cottages and farmhouses whose chimney stacks see regular wind and frost damage.
Fordham sits in open countryside east of Newmarket, with little natural shelter from the prevailing south-westerly and northerly winds. The village has a mix of Victorian workers' cottages and larger detached period properties, many with original brick stacks that were built when lime mortar was standard — and which now need rebuilding with compatible materials rather than modern cement, which is too rigid and causes cracking. We see a lot of failed flaunching and loose pots on first visits here.
Being based in Newmarket means Fordham is effectively a local job for us — we can usually survey within a day or two of your call. Our chimney rebuilds come with a written guarantee and are fully insured. Give us a call for a no-obligation survey.
