Chimney repairs and re-pointing in Martham
A chimney takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof, and in Martham it has plenty to contend with. The village sits near Martham Broad and the River Thurne with the coast at Winterton and Hemsby close by, so stacks here catch the salt wind off the North Sea on one side and the damp Broads air on the other. That combination softens mortar joints, cracks flaunching and corrodes lead flashings, and the first sign is often a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling or a chimney breast that has started to stain. Caught early, most of this is straightforward to put right.
Prestige Roof carries out chimney repairs across Martham and the surrounding villages, travelling over from our base in Dersingham on the west of the county. Martham is one of the furthest east we go, but it is well within our regular coverage, and we know the conditions on this side of Norfolk well. If a surveyor has flagged failing pointing, or you simply want peace of mind before winter, we can come and inspect the full stack and give you a free written quote before any work begins.
Common chimney work we carry out in Martham
- Re-pointing: we rake out failed mortar joints on brick and flint stacks and re-point with a mix matched to the age of the property, so it sheds water rather than trapping damp behind it.
- Flaunching repair and replacement: the mortar bed holding the pots in place cracks under frost and coastal wind. We cut back the loose material and lay fresh flaunching so the pots sit secure.
- Lead flashing renewal: the apron and stepped flashings where the stack meets the roof are a frequent leak point. Salt air shortens the life of lead, so we re-dress or replace it properly rather than patching with mastic.
- Chimney pot replacement and cowls: cracked or loose pots let rain straight into the flue. We fit matching replacements, and stainless steel cowls or birdguards where a chimney is no longer in use.
- Damp investigation: water rarely enters where it shows inside. We trace the true source across the stack, flashings and surrounding roof before recommending a fix.
- Partial and full rebuilds: where mortar failure has gone unaddressed for years and the brickwork has become unstable, we rebuild the stack safely and tidily, matching materials to the existing property.
Local roofs and chimneys in Martham
Martham is a large village built around one of the biggest greens in Norfolk, with St Mary's Church at its heart and a housing mix that spans several eras. The period brick-and-flint and pantile cottages near the green often carry tall original stacks that were built with soft lime mortar and have rarely had more than patchy attention since. Post-war and modern homes around the edges have smaller stacks, but their flaunching and flashings still need checking every few years given how exposed the village is. A common mistake we see is old stacks re-pointed with hard cement, which traps moisture and accelerates the damage, so we always match the mortar to the original brickwork. We also work in nearby Rollesby, Repps with Bastwick and Ormesby St Margaret, so if a neighbour needs similar work we are happy to combine visits.

Bryann Ward
50+years moss accumulation on the roof was causing us concern. Difficult to find local firm that did not use pressure washing to clean so when a R.Mail leaflet drop came through the door, decided to contact Prestige. Their response was quick and a quote was soon provided to clear the moss by hand which we accepted. an early date was agreed. Unfortunately this uncovered more serious damage to the underlying structure (as shown by photos) and a revised quote provided to completely re-tile. We agreed a new price and within a week the work started. The team of 4 worked hard completing the re-roof in 2 days, keeping us informed of progress, and leaving the area in a clean and tidy state. As well as a guarantee we were given a report on what was done, supported by photos. Overall a very professional approach.

I recently had work carried out by Prestige Roof, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. As a young homeowner, I was understandably cautious about who I chose, but from the very first interaction, the team put me completely at ease. Luke, the director, took the time to come out personally and explain everything to me in a clear and thorough manner. He was extremely professional, patient, and well-mannered throughout, ensuring I fully understood the process and even encouraging me to take time to review the quotation with my family before making any decisions. This level of honesty and transparency was very reassuring. The work itself was completed to an exceptional standard. The team on site were punctual, respectful, and genuinely lovely to deal with. It was clear they took pride in their work, and the finished result truly reflects that. The completed project has transformed the appearance of my property, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. The aftercare provided was equally impressive. Any questions I had were handled promptly and professionally, and the office staff were always friendly, helpful, and efficient in their communication. Overall, my experience with Prestige Roof has been outstanding from start to finish. Their professionalism, quality of workmanship, and excellent customer service make them a company I would confidently recommend to anyone.

We discovered a small leak in the kitchen ceiling of our home in Snettisham. Prestige Roof came out and fixed the problem quickly. A small job but one they were happy to do. Great service from a local company.

We received a flyer through our door at the start of the month and decided to get in touch. Although it was only a small job, it’s definitely worth leaving a review ! Prestige responded quickly, came out the next day, and provided a quote on the same day . Work started the following week and lasted three days. They carried out a full roof clean, as well as cleaning the fascia and gutters. As an added bonus, they also jet-washed our driveway at no extra cost, which was a really nice touch. A big thank you to the team at Prestige, and especially to Luke for the excellent service. Highly recommended.
