Chimney Repairs Portslade

A chimney is the highest, most exposed part of any Portslade house, and this close to the harbour it weathers hard. Salt wind strips the mortar out of the joints, lifts lead flashing, and lets water track down inside the stack until it appears as damp on a chimney breast – often a full floor below the actual fault, which is why so many people replace tiles and still have the damp.

Shared stacks make it more urgent. A great many Portslade terraces have party-wall stacks serving two houses, and water getting in on your side frequently shows up in next door’s bedroom first. Sorting it early avoids a neighbour problem as well as a building one.

What we do: repointing in a correctly specified mortar, partial and full rebuilds, new lead flashing and soakers dressed properly rather than sealed with mastic, replacement pots and cowls, and full stack removal with the roof made good afterwards. On the older village stock we match brick and mortar so the repair blends in.

You see it before you pay for it: free inspection, photographs from roof level, fixed written quote.
