Chimney repairs in Burgess Hill
- 01
What goes wrong with chimneys
Chimneys stand above the roof with nothing to shelter them, so wind, rain and frost hit them hardest. Over time mortar washes out, bricks crack and spall, the flaunching around the pots splits and flashing lifts. Each of these lets water into the stack or the roof below.

Warning signs from the ground
Look for gaps between bricks, pieces of brick or mortar in the gutter, a pot that leans, plants growing from the stack, or a chimney that looks out of line. Inside, damp patches on a chimney breast or the ceiling beside it are a strong clue.

Why a full inspection matters
A chimney often has more than one problem, and fixing only the obvious one can leave the leak in place. We look at the pots, flaunching, brickwork, mortar and flashing together, so the repair deals with every weak point rather than just the first one we spot.
What to expect from chimney repairs
We start by looking at the stack from the ground and, once access is safe, close up. We also check the loft around the chimney for signs of water. You then get a free quote listing each repair, along with the access the job needs, so you can see the full cost.
With access in place, we carry out the repairs, whether that's replacing damaged bricks, renewing flaunching, repointing or refitting flashing. We match the brick and mortar to the existing stack where we can. When the work is finished, we check the stack over again and clear away all the debris.

Chimney repairs: questions we're asked
What affects the cost of chimney repairs in Burgess Hill?
The main factors are what needs fixing, the size and height of the stack, and the access required. Renewing flaunching on one pot is a small job, while repointing and reflashing a large stack takes longer. We give you a free, itemised quote after looking at the chimney.
Can a chimney be repaired without scaffolding in Burgess Hill?
Occasionally, for small jobs on low or easy to reach stacks. Most chimney repairs need a proper working platform so the work can be done safely and to a good standard. We'll tell you which type of access your chimney needs and include it in your quote.
Should I repair a chimney I don't use any more?
Yes, or have it taken down. An unused chimney still catches the weather and can leak, drop debris or become unstable. If you'll never use it, removing the stack above the roof can be a lasting fix. We'll explain both options and the cost of each.
How long does a chimney repair take?
Many chimney repairs are finished in a day once access is up, such as renewing flaunching, refitting flashing or replacing a pot. Larger jobs like repointing a whole stack can take two or three days. We'll give you a timescale with your quote, weather permitting.
