Chimney Services in Lancing

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 Lancing

Lancing runs along the West Sussex coastal strip between Shoreham and Worthing, with the South Downs providing a dramatic backdrop to the north. The town is predominantly residential with a large stock of 1930s semi-detached houses, post-war estates, and more recent infill development. Like neighbouring coastal towns, roofs here face the additional stress of salt-laden air from the south, which takes a toll on mortar work, flaunching around chimney stacks, and the fixing security of roof tiles over time. Lancing College, with its famous Gothic chapel, is a notable local landmark, but most of our work in the town is across domestic housing. The 1930s semis in particular often have original chimneys in need of repointing or rebuilding and slate roofs that are reaching the natural end of their service life. We also see a high volume of flat roof repair work on the garages and single-storey extensions common to that era of building. West Sussex Roofing serve Lancing and the surrounding coastal area including Sompting, Coombes, and South Lancing. We provide free surveys, emergency call-outs, and all types of residential roofing work at fixed prices with no hidden extras. We keep our survey process simple and hassle-free from first call to written quote.
