Cambridge Roofers handles chimney take-downs in Milton, working across the village's post-war housing and the older brick cottages near the A10 corridor.
Milton expanded significantly in the 1950s through to the 1980s, and many of those semi-detached and detached houses now have redundant back-bedroom or kitchen chimneys that were never properly capped. Left open, they pull cold air through the house and allow rain to soak the internal breast — damage that shows up as damp patches on chimney-breast walls long before the roof itself shows any sign of trouble.
A full take-down to below the roofline removes the problem permanently. We patch the roof covering with matching concrete or clay tiles and seal the void with rigid insulation. Chimney take-down costs in the Cambridge area typically range from £600 to £1,200 depending on stack height and access. Call us for a firm quote specific to your property.
