Bungay's historic town centre and surrounding flint-and-brick cottages are beautiful, but their age means chimney stacks here often need skilled attention that goes well beyond a quick repoint.
Bungay is one of Suffolk's older market towns, and much of its housing stock predates the twentieth century. Properties around Earsham Street, the Market Place and out towards St Mary's Church frequently have original lime-mortared stacks that have been patched with hard cement over the years — a combination that accelerates cracking and allows water to pool around the flaunching. The Waveney Valley's damp air does nothing to help matters. Chimney flashings on these older roofs are often lead-dressed against stone or soft brick, demanding careful, measured work rather than a quick fix with mastic.
Our team is experienced with traditional materials and carries out proper lead-dressed flashing replacements rather than relying on sealant. For listed or character properties in Bungay we can advise on appropriate repair methods — call us to arrange a survey of your chimney stack.
