Chimney Repointing & Restoration – Eastbourne, East Sussex

At ACCRBS, we recently completed a chimney restoration project in Eastbourne, giving an older coastal property a new lease of life. With three chimneys in need of urgent repairs, our team stepped in to ensure their structural integrity while maintaining the traditional character of the building.

Project Overview

Over time, exposure to harsh coastal weather had taken its toll on these chimneys, causing deterioration in the mortar joints and making them vulnerable to water ingress. To restore them to their former strength, we carried out a full repointing and rebenching, leaving the property with a safe, weatherproof finish.

Project Highlights

✔ Grinding out & repointing – We carefully removed the old mortar and repointed the chimneys using Dry Mix lime mortar from Anglia Lime Company, ensuring a breathable, long-lasting restoration.
✔ Rebenching the tops – The tops of the chimneys were rebenched using a 100mm sharp sand and cement mix, reinforcing their durability against the elements.
✔ Enhanced weatherproofing – By using high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship, we’ve protected the structure from future water damage and deterioration.
✔ Clean & tidy finish – As always, our team ensured the work was completed to the highest standard, leaving the site spotless and the customer delighted with the result.

This project is a perfect example of how proper chimney maintenance can extend the lifespan of a building while preserving its traditional charm.
