Bury St Edmunds has one of the richest concentrations of period housing in West Suffolk, and maintaining the chimney stacks on these older properties takes genuine care and the right materials.
From the Georgian townhouses around Angel Hill to the Victorian terraces off Risbygate Street and the older cottages in the Horringer Road conservation area, Bury St Edmunds has no shortage of properties where chimney stacks are a heritage feature as much as a functional one. Using the wrong mortar mix — or patching rather than properly rebuilding — can cause long-term damage to historic brickwork.
We rebuild chimney stacks using lime-based mortars on pre-1920 properties and match pointing profiles to the existing brickwork wherever possible. Chimney rebuilds in Bury St Edmunds typically cost in the region of £800–£2,000 depending on stack height, access requirements and the extent of the work.
