Chimney repairs in World's End, whether you're bringing an old fireplace back into use or dealing with a stack that's showing its age. We're based in Burgess Hill, close to World's End.
If you want to use an old fireplace again, the stack needs to be sound first. We check the pots, flaunching, brickwork and flashing and repair what's needed. You'll also need the flue swept and checked by a chimney sweep before lighting a fire.
On many semi-detached and terraced homes in World's End, one stack serves both houses. A fault on one side can affect the other, and work on a shared stack may come under the Party Wall Act. We'll explain how it applies before any work starts.
TV aerials are often strapped to chimneys, and the wind load can loosen bricks and pots over time. If an aerial is pulling on your stack, we can check the damage and repair the brickwork, and let you know if the aerial would be better fixed elsewhere.
World's End is part of Burgess Hill, so it's close to our base. Tell us what you've noticed, such as loose bricks or damp, and we'll arrange a visit to inspect the chimney and give you a free quote.
Most chimney repairs need safe access around the stack, which we include in the quote. With access up, we carry out the repairs and check the rest of the stack. When we finish, we clear the debris and talk you through the work.
Tell us about the leak, the damage or the job you have in mind. We aim to respond the same day.
We look at the roof, explain what we find and give you a free, no-obligation quote before any work starts.
We carry out the repair or installation, then test and check the finished work before we leave.
Repairing the stack is the first step, but before lighting a fire you'll also need the flue swept and checked by a chimney sweep. Some fires and stoves also need a liner. We'll make the outside of your World's End chimney sound and point out anything the sweep should look at.
Usually the cost of repairing a shared stack is split between the owners, but it depends on the work and any agreement between you. If only one side is damaged, that owner may pay. We can quote for the whole stack so you and your neighbour can agree how to share it.
It can. Aerials strapped to a chimney catch the wind and pull on the stack, which can loosen pots and bricks over the years. If you see cracks near the aerial bracket, call us. We'll check the brickwork and repair any damage the aerial has caused.
We aim to respond the same day to look at the problem. Repairs are then booked once access is arranged, and most are finished in a day or two. If bricks or a pot are loose and could fall, tell us and we'll prioritise making it safe.
We repair chimneys in these nearby areas too.
