When it comes to chimney repairs in Fordwich — reputedly Britain’s smallest town, on the Great Stour — and with housing that is largely medieval, Georgian and Victorian listed buildings, lime-mortar repointing and leadwork on protected stacks dominates the callouts.
We keep it honest — renew the flashing, repoint or rebuild the stack in the correct materials, and re-bed the pots, in correct-code lead and lime or cement mortar to suit the stock — with a free Fordwich survey, a fixed written quote and no call-out fee.
Most Fordwich roofs are reached from a tower or roof ladder; scaffold is quoted where a job needs safe standing time at height. Scaffold is specified for: re-roofs, chimney and valley work, and anything beyond a day at height - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Fordwich’s listed and conservation buildings mean matched materials, lime mortar and often consent, with tight lanes where scaffold and skip placement take planning. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Canterbury City Council; allow a few working days on streets like Fordwich high street, Fordwich’s older terraces where space is tight.
As a historic Stour town, Fordwich has Britain's smallest town by charter — timber-framed and Georgian buildings around the old town hall, peg-tiled cottages, and a tightly protected conservation area. Each era brings its own roofing demands, and our chimney repairs approach adapts to whichever you own. Chimney work in Fordwich centres on failed lead flashing, eroded pointing and cracked flaunching. On period stacks we use lime mortar, never hard cement.
One issue dominates Fordwich roofs — An exceptionally protected historic core beside the Stour means conservation-led work throughout: reclaimed Kentish peg tile, lime mortar, and lead, with consent for any change. Riverside damp accelerates moss. It shows up again and again on properties near King Street, Church Street, Well Lane, Water Lane, and we plan every chimney repairs job around it. Protected historic town — reclaimed peg tile, lime mortar and consent required.
