Chimney Repointing built for West Wittering homes
West Wittering is a sought-after beachside village where coastal storms test every roof and gutter.
Homes in West Wittering sit close to the Channel, so salt-laden air corrodes fixings, south-westerly gales lift ridge and verge tiles, and driving rain finds any weak flashing. We specify stainless or coated fixings, mechanically fixed dry ridge and verge systems and generously sized gutters built for coastal downpours.
We rake joints back to a sound depth, then repoint with a mortar matched to your bricks. Older and listed homes get breathable lime mortar, which lets the masonry dry out and avoids damaging soft bricks.
Chimney Repointing materials & options
We use NHL lime mortar for period chimneys and colour-matched sand and cement for modern stacks, replacing spalled bricks as we go.
