Corton's clifftop position and North Sea exposure make chimney maintenance one of the most pressing roofing concerns for homeowners in this small coastal village.
Most properties in Corton are semi-detached and detached houses built from the 1930s through to the 1970s, many sitting on the higher ground above the beach. That elevated, exposed aspect means chimney stacks take a battering from salt-laden easterly winds, accelerating mortar decay and causing lead flashings to pull away from the stack far sooner than on more sheltered inland properties.
We regularly spot failed flaunching and cracked pointing on Corton chimneys during surveys — damage that quietly allows water to track down into the breast inside the house. If you've noticed damp patches on a chimney breast wall or staining on a ceiling near the stack, call us for a free chimney inspection in Corton.
