We remove redundant chimney stacks safely and cleanly across Cambridge, from the Victorian terraces of Romsey Town to the Edwardian semis of Newnham.
Cambridge has a dense mix of late-Victorian and Edwardian housing stock, particularly in areas like Mill Road, Petersfield and Cherry Hinton, where original chimney stacks are common but open fires long since boarded up. A deteriorating stack on a terraced house here doesn't just leak — it risks bringing masonry down onto a shared party wall or a busy pavement below.
We erect full scaffold, take the stack down to below roof level, seal the flue with a concrete cap, and make good the slate or plain clay tile covering to match the existing roof. Cambridge homeowners can expect a chimney take-down on a standard two-storey terrace to cost in the region of £800–£1,400 depending on stack height and roof access. All rubble leaves site the same day.
