Cambridge Roofers removes redundant chimneys in Cottenham, a large Fen-edge village where many properties have original stacks that are well past their useful life.
Cottenham is one of the larger villages north of Cambridge, with a long main street lined with a mix of Victorian terraces, interwar bungalows, and modern close developments. The village sits on low-lying ground and its older buildings are exposed to persistent moisture from the Fens — conditions that accelerate the decay of lime mortar pointing on chimney stacks, often leaving the brickwork loose well before the rest of the roof needs attention.
Where stacks are structurally compromised, taking them down entirely is safer and less costly than a scaffold-based rebuild. We remove the stack, properly insulate the breast void, and tile the roof to a neat, weathertight finish. Call us to arrange a free chimney inspection in Cottenham.
