Chimney Removal in Case Study

A local Norwich customer contacted us with persistent issues that their chimney was leaking. Our roofers visited the property to assess the chimney and agreed with the customer that the best solution would be to remove the chimney and take it to below roof level so that it could be covered over.

Scaffolding was erected around the chimney for safe work and all waste put into a skip on site. After the chimney taken down to below roof level it was capped off and new felt and batten installed to make the area water tight. New slates were fitted to match in with the rest of the roof and a roof vent added to ensure proper ventilation.
