Bird Nest Removal

When birds take up residence in your chimney, it can cause significant problems. nests can block flues, preventing proper airflow and posing a fire hazard. Furthermore, the presence of birds and their nesting materials can also attract pests and rodents, leading to further issues. At Ian Gay & Son Chimney Sweeps, we understand the importance of removing bird nests from your chimney quickly and effectively. Our team will inspect your chimney, locate the nest, and safely remove it, ensuring that your flue is clear and free-flowing.

Integrity Testing

If you're concerned about the potential for Carbon Monoxide to seep into your home or neighboring properties, our Integrity Testing service is the perfect solution. This comprehensive test involves blocking the chimney at the top and filling it with smoke, allowing us to detect any signs of leakage. We will then inspect every room that the flue runs through, including bedrooms and loft spaces, and issue a two-part Certificate of Smoke testing. During the test, we will also conduct a CCTV inspection to identify any issues and provide a detailed report.

CCTV Inspections

Our CCTV inspections are a non-invasive way to assess the condition and integrity of your chimney. Using advanced camera technology, we can navigate your flue and identify any blockages, damage, or signs of wear. This allows us to diagnose and recommend solutions to any issues, ensuring that your chimney is safe and functioning correctly.
