Chimney Repairs Brighton – You’re in Safe Hands
Professional Chimney Repairs Brighton
More Brighton roof leaks start at the chimney than anywhere else on the roof – and most of them get blamed on the tiles. A stack stands proud of everything around it, takes the full force of the salt wind off the Channel, and its mortar and lead give up decades before the roof covering does. Water then tracks down inside the stack and appears on a bedroom wall nowhere near the actual fault.
Brighton chimneys are unusually exposed. The tall Victorian stacks on the terraces of Hanover and Preston Park, the shared party-wall stacks that serve two houses at once, and the Regency stacks around Kemp Town all weather hard in this position. Shared stacks are worse still, because the damage often shows up in next door’s back bedroom before it shows in yours.
What we do: repointing in the correct mortar, partial and full rebuilds, new lead flashing and soakers properly dressed rather than smeared with mastic, chimney pots and cowls, and full removal with the roof made good where a stack is redundant. On period and conservation-area property we match brick and mortar so the repair is not the first thing you see from the pavement.
Before anything is agreed: a free inspection, photographs from roof level showing exactly what has failed, and a written itemised quote. Most people have never seen their own chimney close up – you will.
Every job includes: full public liability insurance, a guarantee on the completed work, waste cleared, and scaffold priced into the quote.
