I provide chimney sweeping & Inspection services. Regular professional maintenance can prevent chimney fires & potential carbon monoxide intrusions.

How do you know your chimney is on fire?

There are two types of chimney fires

​The First type is an Explosive Chimney Fire: This chimney fire is very loud, there can be flames shooting from the chimney pot.
We have had clients say that it was like a helicopter hovering over their house or a train going right through their front door as the whole house was shaking.

The second type of chimney fire is a flash fire, which is silent & slow burning.: The only indication is the costly damage left behind.
This damage can include:
Cracked or collapsed clay flue liners
Warped or damage metal flue lining
Heat damage to chimney breast walls and chimney stacks

What We Do

Chimney sweeping & General ​Inspection
​Our chimney sweep service ensure's your chimney is fully sealed to stop any soot or debris entering the room. The chimney will then be swept and any debris and soot is removed from the premises.

CCTV Chimney Inspection & ​Chimney Scan
No homeowner should assume his or her chimney is safe for use without a thorough examination, both exterior and interior. Rain, flue gases, and freezing moisture cause erosion and deterioration in chimneys.

CCTV Inspection DVD & Report​​
A digital video inspection of a chimney interior offers the chartered surveyor, the Insurance loss adjustor and the homeowner these important benefits: You get detailed information only inches away from the chimney walls. You get complete documentation in a variety of formats.

Chimney Smoke Test
If there is doubt about the condition of a chimney, or an old chimney is to be put in use after a long period of disuse, it is advisable to have it smoke tested.

Supply & Fitting of ​Chimney Cowls
There are many chimney cowls on the market for different reasons/uses.
We can fit a chimney bird guard/rain hat to your chimney pot to prevent bird & moisture ingress. Please note, bird nesting materials can potentially block a flue causing smoke and carbon monoxide to enter the property.

​Air Vent ​Installation
​Please be advised all gas, oil and solid fuel heating appliances require oxygen for complete and successful combustion.Building Regulations recommend that a permanent ventilation opening to external air be fitted when using any of the aforementioned heating appliances. We provide a full air vent installation service.
