Diss straddles the Norfolk–Suffolk border, and its Victorian and Edwardian railway-era housing stock means tall, exposed chimney stacks are a feature of almost every street.
The town grew rapidly after the Great Eastern Railway arrived in the 1840s, and the terraced and semi-detached properties built to house railway workers and tradespeople are now well over a century old. Many of these stacks have had piecemeal repairs over the decades — a replaced pot here, a skim of cement there — and the underlying brickwork is often in a worse state than it looks from the ground. A CCTV camera or drone inspection will confirm what we suspect before any scaffold goes up.
Chimney rebuilds in Diss typically require matching the local red-brown Norfolk brick, which we source carefully to avoid the colour mismatch that lets a poor rebuild stand out for years. We carry full liability insurance and offer a five-year written guarantee on all rebuild work.
