Taking Down and Rebuilding Brick by Brick

A stack replacement starts with careful dismantling, not demolition. We take the chimney down course by course, salvaging sound bricks and protecting the roof below. The rebuild goes up with proper bonding, a new crown, damp course and flaunching around the pots. On period homes we reuse the original bricks on the visible faces, so the finished stack looks like it has always been there.

The Structural Side Done Properly

A chimney passes through your roof and bears on the walls below, so replacement is structural work, not just bricklaying. We assess the support, involve building control where required and rebuild to current standards while keeping the original appearance. All flashings and roof junctions are renewed as part of the job, so the new stack is weathertight from its first day.

Keeping Your Home Protected Throughout

The roof opening around a stack is sealed every single night during a rebuild, whatever the forecast says. We plan the work in stages, agree the timetable with you before starting and keep dust and debris contained on the scaffold. Most rebuilds take days rather than weeks. Your home stays dry and liveable from the first brick down to the last one up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my chimney stack needs replacing?

A visible lean, cracks running through the bricks themselves rather than the joints, or a surveyor's report flagging the stack are the clear signs. Widespread spalling and crumbling that repointing cannot fix point the same way. We survey for free and tell you honestly whether repair or rebuild is right.

Will a rebuilt stack match my house?

Yes. We salvage and reuse the original bricks on visible faces wherever possible, and source matched reclaimed bricks where we cannot. Bonding pattern, joint colour and pot style are all copied from what was there. On period homes the aim is simple, nobody should be able to tell.

Is chimney stack replacement covered by insurance?

Sudden failure and storm damage often are, while gradual decay usually is not. We provide dated photos, a written report and an itemised quote in the format insurers ask for, which has helped many Burgess Hill customers settle claims. Check your policy wording and we will support the claim with evidence.
