01 Chimneys in Worthing
Worthing is our home patch: we are based on Shandon Road in BN14. Housing here runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre and Heene to the 1930s semis and bungalows of Broadwater, Goring and Findon Valley, and most of them were built with open fires and at least one chimney.
Chimney Breast Removal in Worthing
In Worthing’s terraces and semis the chimney breast usually sits on the party wall, so a Party Wall Act notice to next door is part of the job. Building Regulations approval goes through Adur & Worthing Councils’ Building Control or an approved inspector, and we make sure the support for anything left above is designed and signed off.
Chimney Stack Removal in Worthing
Stacks near the seafront take the full force of south-westerly winds and salt-laden air, which wears mortar and lead faster than inland. If yours is unused and starting to fail, taking it down and making good the roof ends the problem.
Chimney Repairs & Repointing in Worthing
If you are keeping your chimney, we repoint, renew flaunching, replace pots and cowls and renew lead flashings. On older Worthing houses built in lime mortar, we repoint in lime.

Chimney removal costs in Worthing
In Worthing the price mainly depends on scaffolding (a bungalow in Goring needs far less than a three-storey townhouse near the seafront), how many floors are involved, and whether a steel beam and engineer’s calculations are needed.
Building Regulations applications in Worthing go to Adur & Worthing Councils or an approved inspector. Your quote will say which council, engineer or party wall fees apply, so there are no surprises.
