Sweeping in Storrington.
Storrington sits directly beneath the scarp face of the South Downs, and that position is the thing worth knowing about its chimneys. Air coming over the top of the Downs drops sharply on the far side, and properties tucked in close under the escarpment can suffer downdraught in particular wind directions no matter how clean the flue is.
It is a genuinely common call here, and it is worth saying plainly: sweeping will not fix it. What fixes it is usually the right cowl — an anti-downdraught type specified for the position — or occasionally a modest increase in flue height. Sweeping a clean chimney twice will not change the wind.
Beyond that, the stock is a mix of village centre cottages, post-war housing and larger properties in the lanes towards Washington and Sullington, where wood burners are the norm.
