North Tuddenham is a scattered rural parish between Dereham and Hockering, with a number of traditional Norfolk brick farmhouses and older cottages where chimney stacks are an original feature — and frequently in need of serious structural attention.
Properties in North Tuddenham often sit in isolated or semi-isolated positions with little shelter from prevailing winds, and stacks on these exposed rooflines age faster than those in more enclosed village settings. We find that many stacks in this area were built with a hard cement fillet rather than proper lead flashing, and once that fillet cracks — which it always does eventually — water tracks into the roof structure before it shows inside the house.
When we rebuild a chimney stack in a location like North Tuddenham, we strip out any failed cement work, fit proper stepped lead flashing, and relay or replace courses from the roof level up using matching brick. North Tuddenham is minutes from our Dereham base, and we offer free surveys with no obligation to book.
