Chimney Services in Tangmere

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 Tangmere

Tangmere sits just east of Chichester and is best known for its former RAF airfield, now home to the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum — a history that also shaped the village's housing, with a good proportion of post-war housing built to accommodate airfield personnel and their families, sitting alongside an older village core and more recent estate development. That post-war housing stock is now well past the point where original roofing needs serious reassessment, and we see a steady volume of full reroofs and major repair work in Tangmere for exactly that reason — many of these roofs are on their original or first-replacement covering. Tangmere's position on the flat coastal plain just south of the Downs means it shares the drainage-driven roofing issues common to this part of West Sussex — gutters and downpipes need to be sized and maintained properly given the lack of natural fall. West Sussex Roofing cover Tangmere, Chichester, and Boxgrove, with free surveys, photographic condition reports, and fixed-price quotations for repairs and full reroofing.
