Mildenhall's position on the edge of the Fens, with open skies and little shelter from the east, means chimneys here face some of the hardest weather conditions in West Suffolk.
The town has a broad mix of housing — from pre-war council-built semis on the older estates to 1970s and 1980s private builds around the RAF Mildenhall perimeter roads, plus a core of older flint and brick cottages near St Mary's Church. Flint-and-brick chimneys require particular care during a rebuild, as the two materials bond differently and need a mortar mix that accommodates both. We've worked on several such stacks in the Mildenhall area and know what to avoid.
East Anglian frost cycles cause rapid deterioration in poorly bonded chimney mortar, and we see stacks in Mildenhall where spalled bricks have reached the point where the structural integrity of the whole stack is in question. If your chimney pot is sitting loose or your internal wall has a damp patch near the breast, don't wait — call us for a free chimney survey.
