Newmarket's mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian stable yards converted to housing and post-war semis means chimney stacks here vary enormously — and so do the problems they develop.
The grand terraces along the High Street and the workers' cottages tucked behind the racing yards often carry tall, multi-flue stacks that were built to serve coal fires in every room. When mortar joints open up at that height, water tracks down inside the breast and causes damage well below the roofline before it becomes visible. In Newmarket's chalk-ground environment, freeze-thaw cycles accelerate deterioration faster than many homeowners expect.
We rebuild stacks from roof level upward, matching the buff and red brick typical of the town's Victorian properties. All work includes a new DPC tray, lead flashings and, where needed, a new flue liner or capping arrangement. We cover all parts of Newmarket including the Hamilton Road area, Fordham Road and the villages to the west such as Burwell and Soham.
