Services
Chimney Sweeping
Our comprehensive chimney sweeping service utilises advanced rotary equipment and specialist brushes to remove soot buildup and debris from all chimney types. Regular maintenance prevents dangerous blockages while improving heating efficiency. We serve both traditional masonry chimneys and modern insulated metal flues across residential and commercial properties.
HETAS Installations
As official HETAS-certified installers, we provide complete woodburner and multifuel stove solutions. Our installations include hearth construction, flue lining, and carbon monoxide safety systems. Every project receives official certification confirming compliance with current building regulations and safety standards.
Stove Repairs
We diagnose and repair operational issues with existing woodburning and multifuel stoves. Services include component replacement, airflow adjustment, and efficiency optimisation. Our technicians handle all major brands while maintaining original warranty conditions through approved repair methods.
Safety Inspections
Using high-resolution CCTV cameras, we conduct thorough internal chimney inspections to identify structural damage or blockages. Our digital reporting system provides visual evidence of chimney condition, highlighting necessary repairs or maintenance requirements for insurance compliance.
Flue Cleaning
Specialist cleaning for insulated metal flue systems ensures optimal airflow and combustion efficiency. We use precision tools to remove creosote deposits from twin-wall and flexible liners, reducing fire risk while maintaining manufacturer performance specifications.
