Swanton Morley has a character all of its own — a sizeable village straddling the Wensum valley with a genuine mix of flint-built cottages, brick farmhouses and newer builds, many of which still have working or decorative chimneys that need proper attention.
Flint-built properties present particular challenges when a chimney needs rebuilding, because the stack itself is often brick but sits on a flint-and-lime structure where water ingress has been going on for years before it becomes obvious internally. We survey the full stack and the surrounding roof plane before quoting, so there are no surprises once scaffolding goes up. The village's position in the Wensum valley means ground-level damp and weather exposure combine to accelerate deterioration.
We've worked on properties across Swanton Morley including along Greengate and out towards All Saints Church. If your stack is leaning, losing courses of brick, or your chimney breast inside shows fresh staining after rain, those are signs a rebuild is overdue rather than optional.
