Services
Chimney Sweeps
Our chimney sweeping service removes soot and debris using brushes, rods, and HEPA-filtered vacuums to maintain fireplace efficiency. We seal fireplace openings to contain dust and ensure a clean process. Ideal for annual maintenance or pre-sale inspections, this service prevents blockages and ensures safe operation for open fires and stoves.
Chimney Re-Pointing
We restore deteriorated chimney mortar joints to prevent water ingress and structural damage. Using weather-resistant materials, our team re-points cracks and worn areas on chimney stacks and roofs. This service extends chimney lifespan and maintains aesthetic integrity while complying with building regulations for safety and durability.
Chimney Lining
Installation of stainless steel or flexible chimney liners ensures safe venting for wood burners and stoves. We assess flue conditions to recommend appropriate lining solutions, improving efficiency and reducing creosote buildup. This service meets HETAS certification requirements and enhances fireplace performance for residential and commercial properties.
Roof Repairs
We repair chimney-related roof damage, including cracked tiles and degraded flashing. Our team addresses water leaks caused by chimney stack movement or weather exposure. Using durable materials, we restore roof integrity to prevent damp and structural issues, ensuring long-term protection for your property.
Smoke Tests
Smoke tests identify chimney leaks and airflow issues using non-toxic smoke pellets. This diagnostic service ensures proper ventilation for open fires and stoves, complying with safety standards. We provide certification for landlords and homeowners requiring proof of chimney functionality during property transactions.
