Soham is a substantial fenland town with a mix of older cottages, Victorian terraces and interwar housing, and the flat, exposed landscape means chimney stacks age quickly without regular maintenance.
The housing in Soham includes a core of older brick-built properties around the town centre and St Andrew's Church, along with Victorian workers' terraces and a good spread of 1930s semis. In a flat, open area like the fens, there's nothing to shelter chimney stacks from wind and driven rain, and the freeze-thaw cycle through a typical Cambridgeshire winter is hard on older brickwork and lime-based flaunching. We regularly find stacks in Soham where the mortar has completely eroded and the pots are held in place by little more than habit.
A full chimney rebuild in Soham, taken from roof level down to a sound course, gives the stack another 40 to 50 years of reliable service. We scaffold every job properly — no ladders-only work on chimney rebuilds. Call us to book a free survey at your Soham property.
