Today we want to talk about a task that we love to tackle: removing a chimney. As you can see from the pictures of a recent chimney removal we did in Broadstairs, Kent.


Yes, you read it right. We love it! Why? Well, let me explain.


First of all, let's talk about the reasons why someone would want to remove a chimney. Maybe you don't use your fireplace anymore, or maybe your chimney is old and damaged, or maybe you want to renovate your home and the chimney is in the way. Whatever the reason, we are here to help!


Now, let's get to the fun part. Removing a chimney is like solving a puzzle. It requires careful planning, precise execution, and a bit of creativity. And let's be honest, who doesn't like puzzles? Our team of experts will analyse the structure of your chimney and come up with the best strategy to remove it safely and efficiently.


But wait, there's more! Removing a chimney can also be an opportunity to add value to your home. Think about it: without a chimney, you can potentially have more space, more light, and a more modern look. Plus, you can use the bricks and materials from the chimney to create a beautiful garden path or a stylish outdoor fireplace. It's a win-win situation!


So, what are you waiting for? If you want to remove your chimney and have some fun in the process, contact the Framton Roofing. We guarantee you will love the result!

Major Roof Refurbishment at Flambeau Factory, Ramsgate

By Colin Frampton • January 13, 2026
The team at Frampton Roofing recently completed a large-scale industrial roofing project at the Flambeau warehouse and manufacturing facility in Ramsgate . This enormous roof had seen years of wear and was in urgent need of attention to prevent further deterioration. From moss-choked valleys to cracked sheeting and overgrown drainage systems, this was a serious clean-up and repair mission—executed while keeping the busy site operational throughout. The Challenge Flambeau’s factory spans a huge footprint, with long, pitched valley roofs running the length of the site. Over time, the central valleys had become overrun with: 🟢 Thick moss and vegetation growth 💧 Standing water due to blocked or sagging drainage ⚠️ Cracked and damaged sheeting along the valley lines 🌧️ Increased risk of leaks and pooling during heavy rain The goal was to restore effective drainage, clear debris, and repair visible damage—ensuring the roof would perform safely over the winter months and beyond.
