Mutford is a small rural village between Lowestoft and Beccles, and the detached and semi-detached brick houses here often have chimney stacks that have been quietly deteriorating out of sight for years.
Because Mutford sits in a largely agricultural setting with open fields on most sides, wind-driven rain hits rooftops and chimney stacks with little shelter. Failed lead soakers and stepped flashing on the upslope side of a stack are a particularly common source of slow, intermittent leaks in this kind of exposed location — water appears only during heavy rain and then dries out, making the fault hard to trace without a proper inspection.
As one of the closest roofing contractors to Mutford, we can usually get out for an inspection within a day or two. Call us with a description of where you're seeing the damp and we'll give you a realistic idea of the likely cause before we visit.
