Chimney Stacks Built to Stand for Generations.
From landmark commercial stacks to heritage fireplace restoration and handcrafted pizza ovens: specialist chimney and fireplace masonry throughout Melbourne.
The Detail Work Others Turn Down.
Chimney work at the level David operates is a specialist discipline. It is structural, exposed to the elements, and when it is on a heritage building or a landmark site, there is no room for error.
David has completed chimney projects that have stopped traffic: a 40-metre stack in Collingwood, the chimney at the Highett Gasworks in Melbourne, and the current restoration of the chimney at the Old Licorice Factory in Brunswick, a project that sums up exactly why clients choose Goodwin.
