Chimney Removal with New Felt, Battens and Ridge | South Woodham Ferrers
Our team recently completed a chimney removal project in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex. The existing chimney stack was no longer in use and had started leaking, causing potential water ingress and damage to the surrounding roof area. To prevent further issues and modernise the roofline, the client opted for a full removal and re-tiling solution.
Work Carried Out
- Safe Removal
- The existing chimney stack was carefully dismantled down to below rafter level, ensuring stability and safety throughout the process.
- Roof Reinforcement
- Once lowered, the area was reinforced and prepared with a new breathable felt and treated timber battens to create a solid base for tiling.
- Tiling & Ridge Replacement
- Matching roof tiles were installed seamlessly into the existing roofline, followed by new roof ridge tiles to complete the repair and maintain a uniform appearance.
- Finishing Touches
- All waste was cleared from site, leaving a clean and watertight roof ready to withstand the elements for years to come.
The Transformation
This chimney removal in South Woodham Ferrers demonstrates how a professional and tidy approach can restore the condition of an ageing roof. By removing the disused chimney and re-tiling the affected area, we ensured the property remains fully weatherproof and aesthetically cohesive.
