Thetford's chimneys tell the story of the town's growth — from Tudor flint-and-brick stacks in the old town to the postwar housing that arrived with the London overspill estates in the 1960s and 1970s.
The ancient core around the Priory and Castle Hill has properties with chimneys of considerable age, some of which have survived centuries of weather but are now losing the battle with modern cement pointing applied over unsuitable lime originals. Around the Cloverfield and Abbey estates, the picture is different: standard brick chimneys on three-bedroom semis that were never built to last indefinitely and are now approaching the age where a rebuild is overdue rather than optional.
We cover the full range of Thetford's housing stock and adapt our approach accordingly. On older properties in the town centre we work with conservation-appropriate materials; on the overspill estates we provide a straightforward, cost-effective rebuild using modern matching brick with a durable sand and cement bed. All work is fully insured and backed by a written guarantee.
