Chimney Services in Boxgrove

Chimneys are among the most common sources of roof leaks and are often the first part of a roof to deteriorate. The combination of heat cycling, frost action, and wind loading means mortar joints and lead flashing fail faster around chimneys than almost anywhere else. West Sussex Roofing carry out all aspects of chimney work including full stack repointing, lead flashing replacement, pot and cowl replacement, chimney cap repairs, stack rebuilding, and complete stack removal where chimneys are no longer in use. Removing an unused chimney can prevent ongoing maintenance costs, improve roof efficiency, and eliminate a significant source of future leaks. Where chimneys are to be retained, we ensure all lead work and pointing meets current standards to deliver long-term weatherproofing.

About Boxgrove

Boxgrove is a small village just outside Chichester, built up around the remains of Boxgrove Priory, and its older housing reflects that heritage — flint and stone cottages, several Listed, clustered close to the priory church, with more conventional 20th-century housing on the village's edges. Working on the period buildings around the priory means matching traditional materials and respecting the conservation-area constraints that come with a village of this historic significance; a straightforward like-for-like retile is rarely as simple as it sounds once you're dealing with flint walls and irregular period roof timbers underneath. Boxgrove sits right at the point where the flat coastal plain meets the rising chalk of the South Downs, which means the village gets slightly more exposed, changeable weather than Chichester itself just a couple of miles south. On the newer housing away from the historic core, roofing work here is much more straightforward — standard tile replacement, guttering, and maintenance. West Sussex Roofing serve Boxgrove, Chichester, and Tangmere, with free surveys and fixed-price quotations for both heritage and modern roofing work.
