Fakenham is a busy market town with a wide range of housing — Georgian townhouses, Victorian cottages, and sprawling postwar estates — and we regularly take down redundant chimney stacks across the town for homeowners who want a permanent fix rather than ongoing repairs.
The older housing around the Market Place and the streets towards the River Wensum tends to carry the most problematic stacks — tall, exposed Victorian brickwork that suffers badly from the north Norfolk weather. Fakenham sits in open countryside and catches significant wind, which works quickly at failing mortar joints and loose flaunching. For stacks that no longer serve a working fireplace, take-down is nearly always the more sensible long-term decision over repeated patching.
We travel to Fakenham from Dereham regularly — it's around twelve miles on the A1067 — and we know the area well, including the villages of East Rudham, Hempton, and Sculthorpe that fall under the town's catchment. Our chimney take-down service covers everything: scaffold, brickwork removal to below the roofline, lead flashing, and tile reinstatement to leave the roof fully sealed.
