Fordham's position on the edge of the Breckland fringe means sandy soils, fast drainage and properties that have been settling and shifting for decades — and that movement often shows first in the chimney stack.
The village has a strong core of Victorian and Edwardian brick cottages along Carter Street and Mildenhall Road, many of which still have their original chimney stacks. Slight differential settlement in sandy-soil areas can cause stacks to lean or develop stepped cracks that look minor from ground level but signal serious structural issues at the top. We've rebuilt stacks on terraced cottages in Fordham where the lean was already visible from the street — the sooner it's caught, the less expensive the repair.
We serve Fordham and neighbouring villages including Isleham and Chippenham. Chimney rebuilds in Fordham are typically priced between £800 and £1,900. All scaffolding, materials and labour are included in our fixed quotation. Get in touch for a free site visit and honest assessment.
