Your chimney plays a vital role in your property’s structure and safety, but its exposed position makes it vulnerable to weathering and deterioration.

At Southern Counties Roof Care, we offer comprehensive chimney repair and rebuild services throughout the South East including West Sussex, East Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire.

From minor repointing and flashing repairs to complete chimney stack rebuilds, our experienced team ensures your chimney is safe, structurally sound, and weather-tight.

Common Chimney Problems We Address

Chimneys require regular attention to prevent serious issues. We commonly tackle problems such as:

Deteriorating Mortar Joints (Repointing)

Crumbly or missing mortar between bricks, allowing water ingress and weakening the structure. We offer expert chimney repointing

Damaged or Missing Chimney Pots/Cowls

Affecting chimney function and allowing birds or rain entry. We provide chimney pot refitting and chimney cowl installation

Blockages (at stack level)

Debris or nesting material affecting airflow (Note: internal flue sweeping should be done by a certified sweep).

Damaged Brickwork

Spalled, cracked, or loose bricks compromising stability and appearance.

Failed Lead Flashing

Damaged or improperly installed flashing around the chimney base causing leaks into the roof space. We specialise in "chimney flashing repair"

Leaning Chimney Stacks

Indicating potential structural failure requiring urgent assessment.

Leaks & Water Penetration

Water finding its way through the chimney structure into your home.

Chimney Repointing

Raking out old mortar and replacing it with a new, durable mix to restore integrity and weather resistance.

Replacing damaged individual bricks or sections to match existing work.

Expert repair or complete replacement of lead flashing (step flashing, back gutters, aprons) for a watertight seal.

Refitting loose pots, replacing damaged ones, and installing various cowls (e.g., anti-downdraught, bird guards).

Properly capping unused chimneys or ensuring correct ventilation.

Complete dismantling and rebuilding of the chimney stack when extensive damage or instability is present. Rebuilding the stack from the roofline up if the lower section is sound for a partial rebuild.

We ensure your property is left clean and tidy, removing all debris.

We conduct a final walkthrough (which can include footage from our camera drone) to ensure your complete satisfaction with your new roof installation.
