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.

Jack High
Prestige Roofing did an outstanding job with the spray foam removal. The team was professional, punctual, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. They worked efficiently, left everything clean and tidy, and the quality of their work was excellent. It’s clear they take pride in what they do and genuinely care about their customers. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Prestige Roofing to anyone needing spray foam removal. Excellent service from start to finish!

Fast and efficient service, this must have been a one off? from quote to completion, including scaffolding 3 days. Inspection and quote on Wednesday, scaffold arrived Thursday and job started and finished on Friday. This was for new roof membrane, new battens cleaned and replaced tiles, as well as a complete new flat roof rubber covering and lagged loft as well for good measure. Left early Friday evening and apart from the skip of rubbish I would not have know they had been, all clean and tidy as promised. A big thank you to James and his crew for an excellent job.

I recently suffered from a leak in my bedroom and was really worried about the condition of my roof. I contacted Prestige Roof Ltd to carry out a full roof MOT on my property, and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I got in touch with them, the whole experience was professional and reassuring. The team came out promptly and carried out a very thorough inspection of the roof. They took the time to clearly explain what they were looking at and showed me the areas that had deteriorated. They also explained what a damaged or failing roof looks like, which really helped me understand the problem rather than just being told I needed repairs. After the inspection, they provided me with a fully detailed report along with a clear quotation, which was very helpful and transparent. The office staff were absolutely lovely to deal with—friendly, helpful, and quick to respond to any questions I had. The workers who attended the property were fantastic as well. They were polite, respectful, and worked very professionally throughout the visit. Luke, the owner of Prestige Roof Ltd, clearly knows his trade. He took the time to talk everything through with me and made sure I understood what needed to be done. He was very kind, honest, and genuinely made me feel like he cared about helping me solve the problem rather than just doing a job. Overall, I had a brilliant experience with Prestige Roof Ltd. The service was professional, honest, and very thorough from start to finish. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs roofing advice, an inspection, or repairs. It’s not easy finding trustworthy tradespeople these days, but this company really stands out.

Prestige Roof offered to come and repair a couple of slipped tiles on my mother's roof for free, whenever they were in the area. The two young chaps who came the next day were on time, very polite, knowledgeable and offered some very helpful advice.

We were very pleased with the work carried out by Prestige Roof Limited on our property In March 2026. They removed the old spray foam roof insulation, repairing timbers that had been damaged by it, retiling where needed and replacing the roof membrane and ridge tiles. They carried out this work in the time frame that they said they would. The crew was courteous and kept us informed of progress with numerous photos of the roof work, they also cleared up after themselves. We thoroughly recommend Prestige and would use them again ourselves. Trevor and Linda Scott, Holme-next-the-sea. Norfolk.
