Chimney Rebuilding in Hastings

Typically, chimney rebuilding involves carefully taking down the existing damaged brickwork, usually down to a stable point, often below the roofline. We then rebuild the chimney stack using new, durable bricks and correct mortar mix, ensuring the flue is properly lined or prepped for lining if required. We also address the crucial lead flashing where the chimney meets the roof, making sure it's expertly sealed and watertight. It's a complex job that requires skill and experience, ensuring the new stack is built to last and function safely for many years of fireplace use or simply standing as a weather-resistant feature.

Chimney rebuilding isn't a decision taken lightly, but when the structure is significantly deteriorated or damaged beyond simple repair, it's the safest and most reliable solution. Years of exposure to wind, rain, frost, and the thermal stress from burning fuel in your fireplace or stove can weaken the chimney's components. An unqualified repair might only offer a temporary fix. Rebuilding ensures the chimney stack is structurally sound, weatherproof, and functions correctly, safely directing fire and fumes away from your home, ensuring your home's fire safety.
