Mundesley's clifftop setting and exposed North Sea aspect mean chimney stacks here face some of the harshest weathering conditions on the Norfolk coast.
The village has a good stock of Edwardian and inter-war seaside properties — bay-fronted houses and detached villas built when Mundesley was a modest resort — along with a number of flint-faced older buildings closer to the beach. Salt-laden easterly winds strip mortar from brick joints at twice the rate you'd see inland, and chimney stacks on these properties can become genuinely dangerous within a few years of a fireplace being decommissioned.
A chimney take-down in a coastal location like Mundesley permanently removes the maintenance burden and the risk of falling masonry. We carry out coastal chimney work regularly and understand how to detail the weathering correctly for exposed positions. Call us to book a free roof and chimney survey before the autumn gales arrive.
