Newmarket Roofers carry out chimney take-downs across Bury St Edmunds, tackling everything from Georgian town-centre townhouses to post-war semis on the Moreton Hall estate.
Bury St Edmunds has a varied housing mix: older stone and lime-rendered properties within the historic grid of streets around the Abbey Gardens, and a large number of 1960s and 1970s brick semis on the town's outer estates where redundant back-boiler chimneys are a common problem. These stacks were built for coal fires and solid-fuel systems that no longer exist, and once the pointing goes they admit water into the party wall cavity every winter.
We take down chimney stacks from properly erected scaffold — no ladders-only shortcuts — sealing the flue below the roofline and re-covering in matching plain tiles or concrete interlocking tiles to suit the existing roof. A chimney take-down in Bury St Edmunds typically costs £750–£1,300 for a standard residential stack. Full waste removal is included in every job.
