Newmarket Roofers carries out chimney take-downs in Fordham, a village where older brick and flint properties regularly present redundant and deteriorating stacks.
Fordham sits between Soham and Newmarket on slightly higher chalk ground, and its housing stock reflects that position — a mix of older brick cottages, former farm buildings converted to residential use, and Victorian terraces along the main streets. Chimney stacks on these properties are frequently built with lime mortar that has softened and washed out over time, and the prevailing south-westerly winds across open arable land here make an unstable stack a real hazard.
We're based in Newmarket, which puts us virtually on Fordham's doorstep, so we can respond quickly and keep costs down on travel. We take the stack to below roof level, make the opening watertight, and clear all debris on the day. Call us for a free chimney inspection.
