Chimney Repairs Hove

Chimney stacks are the most exposed thing on a Hove roof and the most common source of a leak that looks like it is coming from somewhere else. Water gets in through failed pointing or lifted lead, tracks down inside the stack, and shows up as damp on a bedroom chimney breast a floor below – which is why so many people spend money on the roof covering first and still have the damp afterwards.

Hove stacks take a beating. The tall Regency and Victorian stacks around Brunswick Town, Palmeira Square and the Avenues sit high, unsheltered and a few hundred metres from the sea, and salt-laden wind strips mortar and corrodes flashing far faster than it would inland. Shared party-wall stacks add another problem: the damage often appears in the neighbouring property first.

What we do: repointing in a correctly specified mortar, partial and full rebuilds, new lead flashing and soakers properly dressed rather than sealed with mastic, pots and cowls, and complete removal with the roof made good where a stack is no longer used. On listed and conservation-area property we match brick and mortar so the repair does not announce itself from the pavement.

You will see the problem before you pay for it – free inspection, photographs from roof level, and a fixed written quote.
