Watton sits in the heart of Breckland, and the town's solid stock of post-war and older brick homes frequently features chimney stacks that have outlived the heating systems they were built for.
Much of Watton's housing dates from the 1950s through to the 1980s, built to house families connected with the former RAF base at nearby Griston. These houses commonly have a single central stack from a back-boiler or solid fuel range that was replaced by gas central heating decades ago. Left in place and unsealed, these stacks act as a cold bridge — pulling heat out and letting damp in through the redundant flue opening. Taking the stack down and finishing the roof level correctly is a straightforward job that pays for itself quickly in reduced heating bills and zero repair costs.
