Chimney Repairs on a Listed Building in Cambridge
In this post, we take a look at a recent project in which we carried out some chimney repairs on a beautiful listed building in a conservation area in Cambridgeshire.
The chimneys had suffered from weathering and decay, and needed some urgent attention to prevent further damage and ensure safety. As the building is listed and located in a conservation area, we had to work closely with the local planning authority and heritage experts to ensure that our repairs were in keeping with the original character and style of the building.
We used traditional materials and techniques, such as lime mortar, handmade bricks, and lead flashing, to repair the chimneys and restore their appearance. The result is a set of chimneys that look as good as new, but also blend seamlessly with the historic fabric of the building.
It was a pleasure to work on such a stunning property and to contribute to its preservation for future generations. If you have a similar project in mind, or if you need any advice on building or restoring listed buildings or properties in conservation areas, please do not hesitate to contact us.
