Making a Damaged Stack Safe Fast

The first visit is about removing danger. We take down loose pots and brickwork, cap open flues against the rain and secure anything the next gust could move. Temporary weatherproofing goes on where needed, so the damage stops growing while permanent repairs are planned. Until we arrive, keep everyone away from the drop zone below the stack, including pets and parked cars.

Evidence Your Insurer Will Accept

Storm claims live or die on documentation, so we photograph the damage before touching anything, note the date and conditions, and write a short report linking the failure to the storm. The itemised repair quote comes in the format insurers ask for. Customers across Mid Sussex have settled chimney claims smoothly with our paperwork, and it costs nothing extra.

Ready Before the Next Gale

Storm work is seasonal and we plan for it. Through autumn and winter we hold extra pots, caps and sheeting in stock and keep slack in the diary for emergency calls, with the phone answered from 7am. A decade of Sussex storms has taught us which stacks fail and how, which makes the response quicker when the wind finally finds yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

My chimney was hit by a storm, what should I do first?

Keep people away from the area below the stack and do not climb up to look. Photograph the damage from ground level if it is safe, then call us. We will make the chimney secure quickly and check for hidden movement a ground level view cannot show. Safety first, repairs second.

Does home insurance cover chimney storm damage?

Usually yes, storm damage is a standard insured peril on most household policies, though gradual wear is excluded. Insurers want evidence that a specific storm caused the failure. Our dated photos, written report and itemised quote give a claim exactly that, and we are happy to speak with your insurer directly.

How quickly can you make a storm damaged chimney safe?

Genuine emergencies are prioritised and we can usually make a dangerous stack safe the same day, seven days a week. Being based in Burgess Hill keeps travel short even mid storm. Permanent rebuilding then follows once the weather settles and any insurance approval is in, on a date agreed with you.
