Property Maintenance Sussex - Property Maintenance Sussex

Normally being the highest point of most properties, chimneys are exposed to all the elements. Over time they become victims of the effects of weathering. This is where repointing can help make sure that no further erosion of the brickwork happens.

Contact us if you would like chimney repointing in Sussex. We will happily provide a free quotation for the work. Chimney stacks come in various different sizes so it is not always easy for us to give a one-size-fits-all quote but we will be very fair and reasonable with your chimney taking into account any other extra needed materials such as brick replacement.

We do the following chimney repairs in Sussex;

• Chimney Lining Sussex
• Chimney Repointing
• Chimney Lead-work in Sussex

By having your chimney lined, you are ensuring that the flue system is safe and insulated. Old brick chimneys suffer from worn and damaged bricks through constant usage and weathering. Once the original lining starts to come away, you risk leakages of toxic fumes from the flue into your home and elsewhere.

It is a good idea to have your chimneys swept or have a smoke test carried out so that the condition of the chimney can be investigated. We will always make sure that a chimney has been inspected and certified before we carry out any maintenance work on it or install any appliances. Where possible we will try to do as much work as we can using normal ladders, however sometimes on larger properties, scaffolding may be required which should be factored into the cost. We can also use cherry picker for all high rise works.

Whilst your chimney is being taken care of, it may be a good idea to consider the lead work and if it needs renewing. A rule of thumb is that is any leading is over 40 years old or showing any significant signs of damage, it is probably best to get it renewed.

You should also consider replacing or rebedding any cracked or loose ridge tiles. During the replacement of chimney lead around its base, a back gutter may also need replacing and any lead soakers which are located under the titles which bend u against the chimney.
