Chimney Services in Felpham

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 Felpham

Felpham runs along the seafront immediately east of Bognor Regis, and the village's roofing stock reflects two distinct waves of building: a scatter of Georgian and Victorian houses around the historic centre near Felpham church, and the much larger volume of interwar and post-war bungalows and chalet-style houses that make up most of the residential streets running back from the coast road. Many of those older bungalows have flat-roofed rear extensions, garages, and sun rooms added over the decades, and it's this flat-roof stock — rather than the pitched tile roofs — that generates the bulk of the leak and repair call-outs we get in Felpham. Direct sea frontage means wind-driven rain and salt spray are a daily reality rather than an occasional storm event, and ridge tiles, ropey old felt roofs, and ageing lead flashing around chimneys all tend to fail here sooner than an inland equivalent. West Sussex Roofing cover Felpham, Middleton-on-Sea, and the Bognor Regis seafront, offering free surveys, emergency call-out for storm damage, and fixed-price quotations on all roofing work.
