OUR SERVICES

Chimney Repair

Cracked crowns, loose pots and spalled bricks all let water into a chimney, and from there into your bedrooms. Our chimney repair service puts each fault right with materials matched to the age of your stack. We repair chimneys on everything from Victorian terraces to modern homes around Burgess Hill. If your stack looks weathered, our Chimney Repair page shows the warning signs to check for.

Chimney Repointing

Mortar joints wear out long before good bricks do. Repointing rakes out the soft, washed out mortar and replaces it with a mix that suits your brickwork, restoring both strength and looks. Done well, it protects a stack for decades. Done badly, it traps damp. We repoint chimneys properly, by hand. Learn what good repointing looks like on our Chimney Repointing page.

Chimney Stack Replacement

When a stack leans, crumbles or fails a survey, rebuilding is safer than patching. Our chimney stack replacement service takes the old stack down carefully, saves what can be reused and rebuilds it true and weathertight. We handle scaffolding and keep disruption low. If a surveyor has flagged your chimney, the Chimney Stack Replacement page explains how a rebuild works from start to finish.

Chimney Flashing Repair

The lead flashing where your chimney meets the roof is one of the most common leak points on any house. Lifted, cracked or poorly fitted flashing lets water track down the stack into the loft. We repair and renew flashing in proper code lead, dressed neatly into the brick joints. Damp patches near the chimney breast usually start here. See our Chimney Flashing Repair page.

Chimney Removal

Unused chimneys leak heat, take up loft space and cost money to maintain. Full or partial chimney removal frees up your home and removes the upkeep for good. We remove stacks safely, make good the roof with matching tiles and deal with the structural side properly. If your fireplace has been blocked up for years, our Chimney Removal page will help you weigh it up.

Chimney Storm Damage

High winds test every chimney in Sussex, and each winter we are called to pots blown over and stacks shaken loose. Our chimney storm damage service makes things safe fast, then carries out lasting repairs with photos and reports your insurer will accept. If a storm has hit your chimney, stay clear below it and call us. The Chimney Storm Damage page covers the first steps.

About us

Chimney work became a natural part of what we do because so many roof leaks turn out to start at the stack. Over 10 years we have repointed, rebuilt and removed chimneys of every age across Mid Sussex. We train our team on traditional brickwork and lead detailing, because a chimney fixed properly should not need touching again for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Chimney Service cost in Burgess Hill?

It depends on the work needed, the height of the stack and the access required. Repointing a few joints costs far less than a full rebuild. Kingsgaurd Roofing Solutions surveys your chimney for free, photographs its condition and gives a written quote before anything starts, with no obligation.

How do I know if my chimney is dangerous?

Warning signs include a visible lean, cracks running through the bricks themselves, mortar falling into the garden or gutters, and pots that wobble in high wind. If you spot any of these, keep people away from the area below and book a survey. We assess chimneys across Burgess Hill for free.

Do chimney repairs need scaffolding?

Larger repairs usually do, because working safely at the stack needs stable access for tools and materials. Minor work can sometimes be done from roof ladders on a safe pitch. We choose the right access for each job and itemise it clearly in the quote, so nothing is hidden.
