Services
Chimney Sweeping
Regular chimney sweeping prevents fire hazards and maintains appliance efficiency. Our trained technicians use industry-approved methods to remove soot, creosote, and debris from flues. Annual maintenance ensures compliance with insurance requirements and extends chimney lifespan.
Animal Removal
We safely remove animal blockages including bird nests and squirrel infestations. Our CCTV diagnostics identify obstructions while minimising property damage. Emergency call-outs address urgent ventilation issues caused by wildlife intrusion.
Safety Surveys
Certified safety surveys verify chimney integrity for insurance purposes. Using camera technology, we assess flue lining condition and identify structural damage. Reports confirm appliance safety compliance for gas or solid fuel systems.
Flue Smoke Testing
Smoke testing identifies hidden chimney leaks that could allow carbon monoxide ingress. This diagnostic service ensures proper ventilation for open fires, stoves, and kitchen ranges while meeting building regulations.
Blockage Removal
Our specialist tools clear stubborn blockages caused by debris accumulation. Using rotary cleaning systems and high-powered vacuum extraction, we restore proper airflow while preventing structural damage during removal processes.
