We remove redundant and unsafe chimney stacks from homes across Thetford, working on everything from the town's historic flint cottages to its large post-war council and Overspill estates.
Thetford is unusually varied for a town of its size — there are medieval buildings near the priory and Butten Island, streets of Victorian terraces built for the railway-era workforce, and then a very large stock of 1960s and 1970s housing built to rehouse families from London under the Overspill scheme. That last group in particular tends to have chimney stacks built for back-boilers and open fires that were decommissioned decades ago and are now just a source of ongoing maintenance cost.
On the Overspill estates, stacks are typically concrete-capped and built in a soft common brick that erodes faster than the gault or red brick used on older Thetford properties. We carry out take-downs across all these property types, matching plain concrete tiles on post-war houses or clay on older stock. A chimney take-down in Thetford typically costs £650 to £1,100.
