Chimney repairs in Billingshurst
- 01
The parts of a chimney that wear out
The pots, the flaunching (the mortar cap the pots sit in), the brickwork and pointing, and the flashing where the stack meets the roof all take a beating from the weather. Each can fail on its own, so we check every part rather than just the obvious one.

Signs your chimney needs attention
Watch for bits of mortar or brick in the gutters, a pot that leans, plants growing out of the stack, or damp and staining on a chimney breast inside. Brown marks on the ceiling beside the chimney often mean water is getting in at roof level.

Keeping the cost down
Catching chimney problems early usually means a smaller job. Fixing flaunching or a cracked pot now can save rebuilding the top of the stack later. Access is often the biggest cost, so it makes sense to sort several small jobs on the stack in one visit.
What to expect from chimney repairs
We start by looking at the chimney from the ground and, where it's safe, close up from a roof ladder or from the loft. We tell you which parts need work and why, and give you a free quote that includes any scaffolding or access needed.
On the day, we set up access, remove loose or broken materials and carry out the repair, whether that's new flaunching, a replacement pot, rebuilt brickwork or fresh flashing. We check the rest of the stack while we're there and clear any debris from the roof and gutters.
What's included
- A close check of pots, flaunching and brickwork
- Loose or broken materials removed
- Flaunching renewed where cracked
- Pots reset or replaced
- Flashing at the base checked

Chimney repairs: common questions
How much do chimney repairs cost in Billingshurst?
The cost depends on what needs repairing, the height of the stack and how it can be reached. Resetting a pot or renewing flaunching is a smaller job than rebuilding brickwork, and scaffolding adds to the price. We look first and give you a free, no-obligation quote.
Is a leaning chimney pot dangerous in West Sussex?
It can be. A pot that leans has usually lost its bedding in the flaunching, and a strong gust can bring it down onto the roof or garden. Keep people away from below it and call us. We can make it safe quickly, then quote for a proper repair.
Can you repair a chimney without scaffolding in Billingshurst?
Sometimes. Small jobs on a low chimney, such as resetting a pot, can occasionally be done safely from a roof ladder. Most chimney work needs scaffolding or a chimney access platform for safety. We'll tell you what your job needs when we look, and include it in your quote.
Can a chimney be repaired in winter around Horsham?
Yes, as long as the weather allows. Mortar and flaunching shouldn't be laid in frost or heavy rain, so we keep an eye on the forecast. If the chimney is damaged and letting water in, we can make it safe straight away and finish the repair on a suitable day.
