CCTV of Chimneys
Chimney flues are hidden by their very nature. Although our highly experienced staff can guide you through a lot of likely problems that may be present, sometimes it’s better to use a CCTV camera. This gives us the best view of the condition of the chimney without having to open up access holes. The camera is passed through the full height of the chimney flue (from the top in most cases). We can also evaluate the condition of the chimney as well as its dimensions through this method.
Bird Nest Removals
We aim to break the nest up using a hard, small brush or a metal nest removal tool. It’s a very labour-intensive task indeed. As we take out parts of the nest, we then increase the size of the brush in stages until the nest is completely removed.
Downdraft Problem Solving
Smoke is meant to rise, but sometimes backdraft gets confused with having a drafty fireplace. Cold air travels down the chimney and enters your home. This causes smoke to come back down the chimney and into your home. We can help to restore your chimney to it’s usual self.
Chimney Cowl Fitting
A chimney cowl is a fitting that goes to the top of your chimney to enhance and improve its functionality. This could be to prevent birds nesting on your chimney or to prevent rain entering. To increase updraft or decrease downdraft, or to stop sparks and ember going on to a thatched roof. We can fit all types of chimney cowls.
Chimney Flaunching
This is where a bed of mortar holds the chimney pots in place at the top of a chimney stack. Over time, mortar will deteriorate which will make the chimney pots insecure. This could be a hazard in high winds, leading to damage of your roof, your property, and could land on passers-by or family. We can assess your chimney for wear and tear and make recommendations for you.
Twin Wall Flue Fitting
Twin wall flue is a double layered insulated stainless steel metal flue pipe that transports gases from wood burning or multi fuel stoves into the atmosphere. We are fully trained to fit and install.
