Royston sits on the chalk ridge at the Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire border, and the town's older housing stock — including a good number of Victorian and Edwardian terraces — regularly throws up chimney stacks in need of serious attention.
The elevated position of much of Royston means chimney stacks take a real battering from south-westerly winds that funnel across the open fields. Properties on the older streets near the town centre, and the terraced rows built for railway workers in the late 1800s, often have stacks where the flaunching has cracked away completely and the upper courses of brickwork have started to shift. Left unchecked, this leads to water tracking down inside the breast and causing damage to ceilings and plasterwork below.
We carry out chimney rebuilds in Royston whether the damage is limited to the top courses and flaunching or the whole stack needs taking down and rebuilding from roof level. All work is done from properly erected scaffold. Call us for a free inspection and written quote.
