Soham is a sizeable Fenland market town with a genuine mix of older brick terraces and more recent development, and chimney stack problems here are common enough that we carry out rebuilds in the town throughout the year.
The older streets in Soham — particularly around the High Street and the areas near St Andrew's Church — contain late Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing with chimney stacks that are now well over a hundred years old. The low-lying Fenland position means these properties sit in damp air for much of the year, and mortar joints on chimney stacks deteriorate faster here than in more sheltered inland towns. Cracked flaunching and failed pointing at the base of pots are the two most common issues we find.
Where the damage extends beyond what a repoint can resolve, we rebuild from the flaunching up or from the base if the brickwork itself is compromised. We use lime mortars on the Victorian stock and can usually schedule a free survey in Soham within two to three days of your call. Chimney rebuilds in Soham typically cost between £750 and £1,800 depending on stack size and scaffold requirements.
