Newmarket's mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, and stable-yard cottages means redundant chimney stacks are a common and often urgent roofing issue.
Newmarket has a distinctive built environment shaped by the racing industry and its Georgian and Victorian expansion. The High Street and surrounding residential streets are lined with solid brick properties, many with large, multi-flue stacks that once served coal fires in every room. Now that central heating is universal, these stacks are often unlined, unmaintained, and beginning to deteriorate — loose coping stones and eroded mortar joints can shed masonry onto roofs, gutters, or pedestrians below.
We take the stack down carefully to just below the roof covering, make good with matching clay or concrete tiles, and cap the flue base internally. The result is a clean, weathertight roof that requires no further chimney maintenance. We cover Newmarket and the nearby villages of Kentford and Exning — call us to book a no-obligation survey.
