Services
Chimney Sweeping
Our chimney sweeping service removes soot and debris using modern rods and power brushes, combined with traditional techniques. A professional vacuum system minimises dust escape during cleaning. Each sweep includes a smoke draw test and Chimney Safety Certificate, essential for home insurance compliance. We service all chimney types including multi-fuel stoves, wood burners, and gas fire flues.
Stove Servicing
We offer comprehensive stove servicing including replacement of fire bricks, rope seals, and glass panels. Our cleaning restores stoves to like-new condition while ensuring optimal functionality. The service addresses both aesthetic and operational aspects, maintaining safety standards for wood-burning and solid fuel appliances through thorough inspection and component replacement.
Chimney Repointing
Our repointing service restores chimney structural integrity by repairing degraded mortar joints. Experienced technicians assess and replace damaged pointing to prevent water ingress and prolong chimney lifespan. This maintenance work enhances both safety and appearance while addressing potential fire hazards from deteriorated masonry.
Bird Cowl Installation
We install protective bird cowls to prevent nesting and debris blockages in chimneys. The service includes replacement of damaged or missing cowls, ensuring compliance with safety standards while maintaining proper chimney ventilation. This preventative measure reduces fire risks and maintenance requirements for property owners.
Carbon Monoxide Advice
Our experts provide guidance on carbon monoxide detection and prevention, explaining risks from poorly maintained fuel-burning appliances. We advise on proper ventilation, appliance usage, and chimney maintenance schedules to mitigate CO exposure. This educational service helps homeowners implement safety measures against the 'silent killer'.
