From the Georgian townhouses near Halesworth's Thoroughfare to the Victorian terraces off Angel Link, chimney stacks here are often original to the building — and showing it.
Halesworth sits in a gentle river valley but is exposed to winds sweeping in from the north Suffolk coast, and the town's older brick chimneys take the brunt of that weather year after year. Cracked flaunching is the most common problem we find here — the mortar bedding that holds chimney pots in place deteriorates, water gets beneath it, and frost does the rest through winter. On the town's Victorian terraces, original lead flashings are often wafer-thin after decades of thermal movement and are well overdue for replacement.
A repointed and properly leaded chimney on a Halesworth terrace should realistically last another 20–25 years with no further attention. We cover Halesworth and the surrounding villages including Holton and Wenhaston — call us for a free roof and chimney survey at your property.
