Regarded as much more than just accessories for roofs and chimneys around the Sussex area, chimney pots and cowls have important functional roles to play. Not only do chimney pots increase updraught to stop smoke working its way back into a home, but they will also protect against all adverse weather. On the other hand, cowls stop pest infestations and keep out debris, such as leaves and sticks, which might otherwise block the passage or pose a fire risk.
If you are looking to replace old or damaged chimney pots and cowls that are no longer functioning properly, Swept Away Installations can provide a comprehensive supply and installation service.
Areas covered by our company include:
Battle | Bexhill-on-Sea | Brighton | Eastbourne | Hailsham | Hastings | Heathfield | Hove | Lewes | Newhaven | Polegate | Ringmer | Saltdean | Seaford | St Leonards-on-Sea | Uckfield | Sussex
There are countless designs and styles of chimney pots available, to include a choice of round, square, rectangular and octagonal designs in an array of colours. If you need something that adds kerb appeal and suits how you use a fireplace or a stove, then our team would very much like to hear from you.
What’s more, our professional grade installation service ensures that all new chimney pots and cowls will be able to stand up to the elements and the many tests of time so that you can enjoy long, problem-free performance.
Because installers often position them out of sight, it can feel more tempting to leave compromised chimney pots alone. But it is important that all Sussex residents replace them sooner rather than later. Not only could badly worn or damaged chimney pots fall from your roof and cause catastrophic damage to the property below, or even a fatal injury, but they can also be subject to downdraughts that push toxic gasses into a property rather than out of it.
Damaged chimneys can also provide a perfect entry point for pests.
Other reasons to give Swept Away Installations a call include loss of heat and steadily increasing heating bills, as well as damage to chimney linings that will cost money to put right. If you want us to update your chimney pots or cowls, do not hesitate to contact our company at the earliest possible opportunity.
We cover all Battle, Bexhill-on-Sea, Brighton, Eastbourne, Hailsham, Hastings, Heathfield, Hove, Lewes, Newhaven, Polegate, Ringmer, Saltdean, Seaford, St Leonards-on-Sea, Uckfield and Sussex areas with our services.

While pleasant to look at from afar, cowls become less appealing if they start to make a mess of a fireplace and worse still if pests start to infiltrate. So how do our professionals stop birds from getting too close for comfort and nesting in chimneys? The easy answer is with bird guard cowls. Humane and equally unobtrusive, cowls are simple additions that we can easily fit over a chimney entrance. Tough enough to keep out even the most motivated pests, there is a choice of decorative options available which boost kerb appeal. At Swept Away Installations, we can supply and install all chimney pots and cowls.
Our cowls make sure that feathered friends don’t become a nuisance, and a professional installation will perfectly match the chimney and the roofline of properties in East and West Sussex – our principal areas of coverage.
While DIY enthusiasts see fitting bird guard cowls within their remit, working at height carries obvious risks, not to mention the possibility of damaging your chimney and the roof. Fit bird guard cowls incorrectly and they won’t work as intended. Swept Away Installations will ensure there are no vulnerabilities for birds, squirrels and other pests to use as a gateway into your property.
Another reason to urge local homeowners in Battle, Bexhill-on-Sea, Brighton, Eastbourne, Hailsham, Hastings, Heathfield, Hove, Lewes, Newhaven, Polegate, Ringmer, Saltdean, Seaford, St Leonards-on-Sea, Uckfield and the East and West Sussex areas not to try fitting of bird guard cowls themselves is the possible issue with carbon monoxide building up inside their properties.
As we all know, carbon monoxide can have disastrous consequences.
