Services
Chimney Sweeping
Our chimney sweeping service removes soot and debris to ensure safe, efficient operation. Using industry-standard brushes and a Hepa filter vacuum, we clean all chimney types, including wood burners and Agas. A free smoke test and certificate confirm compliance with insurance requirements.
Bird Nest Removal
We safely remove bird nests from chimneys, preventing blockages and damage. The process includes debris clearance and a follow-up smoke test. Waste is bagged and left for homeowner disposal, as required by standard practice.
CCTV Inspection
Our CCTV inspection identifies internal issues like cracks or tar buildup. This non-invasive method diagnoses problems in flues, liners, and brickwork, ensuring accurate repairs. Ideal for troubleshooting smoking chimneys or pre-purchase checks.
Wood Burner Servicing
We service wood burners, including firebrick placement and door seal repairs. Regular maintenance prevents inefficiency and extends appliance lifespan. Our work meets HETAS standards for safety and performance.
Carbon Monoxide Safety
We advise on carbon monoxide risks and prevention. Our sweeps reduce CO2 leakage by ensuring proper flue function. We recommend installing detectors in rooms with fireplaces to safeguard against this odourless, deadly gas.
