Chimney Repairs Shoreham-by-Sea

A chimney stack in Shoreham stands in the most punishing spot on the house. Salt-laden wind off the Channel strips mortar out of the joints year after year, lifts lead flashing at the apron and soakers, and eventually leaves the stack itself unstable. Water gets in long before that point and travels down inside the brickwork, appearing as damp on a chimney breast a floor below.

Because the damp is nowhere near the fault, the roof covering usually gets blamed and money gets spent in the wrong place. A proper inspection from roof level settles it in ten minutes.

What we do: repointing in a correctly specified mortar that will stand up to salt, partial and full rebuilds, new lead flashing and soakers dressed properly rather than sealed with mastic, new pots and cowls, and full removal with the roof made good where a stack is redundant. On the older Old and New Shoreham stock we match brick and mortar so the repair does not stand out.

Photographs from roof level before you spend anything, then a fixed itemised written price.
