Mattishall is a proper mid-Norfolk village — flint-and-brick cottages, farmworkers' Victorian terraces, and a cluster of newer estates — and the chimneys on the older properties here are often well overdue a proper rebuild.
Flint and brick chimneys are common in villages like Mattishall, Yaxham and the surrounding parishes, and they need careful handling. Flint doesn't bond like regular brick, so any rebuild has to respect the original construction method — using lime-based mortar rather than hard cement, which would cause spalling in the surrounding masonry. A badly repointed or over-cemented flint chimney can end up worse off than before.
We work in Mattishall and the nearby villages regularly, and we're familiar with the construction methods typical of this part of Norfolk. If your chimney stack is losing mortar, the lead apron is lifting, or you've got damp inside on the chimney breast, give us a call for a free on-site assessment.
