Wendling is a quiet hamlet between Dereham and Fransham, but its older agricultural cottages and small farmhouses are no different from anywhere else in mid-Norfolk when it comes to redundant chimneys causing roof problems.
Properties in and around Wendling — including the scattered farms and former estate workers' housing characteristic of this part of Norfolk — were built to heat with solid fuel, often well into the 1960s. The chimney stacks on these buildings are typically lime-mortared, and once maintenance stops, deterioration is rapid. In a hamlet this small, there are no nearby builders who specialise in roofwork, which means problems sometimes go unaddressed for too long.
We cover Wendling as part of our regular mid-Norfolk round and can usually arrange a visit within a few days. A full chimney take-down here typically includes removing the stack to below the roofline, replacing any damaged roof timbers, and finishing with a lead slate or tiled patch to match.
