Services
Chimney Sweep
Our comprehensive chimney sweeping service removes soot, creosote, and debris using traditional and power sweeping methods. This essential maintenance task prevents chimney fires, improves ventilation, and ensures safe fireplace operation. We serve both residential and commercial properties across Dorset and Hampshire.
CCTV Inspection
We offer advanced CCTV inspections to visually assess chimney condition and identify blockages or structural issues. This non-invasive technique provides real-time footage, allowing precise diagnosis of problems like bird nests or flue damage. Ideal for pre-purchase surveys and maintenance checks.
Power Sweeping
Our power sweeping technique uses rotating brushes attached to drills for thorough cleaning of terracotta-lined chimneys and difficult-to-reach areas. This modern method effectively removes heavy creosote buildup and ensures complete debris removal from complex chimney systems.
Bird Nest Removal
We safely remove bird nests and debris from chimneys between September and February, including live bird extraction when necessary. The service includes full sweep and CCTV verification to ensure complete clearance and restore proper chimney function.
AGA/Rayburn Cleaning
Specialist cleaning service for AGA and Rayburn cookers focusing on flue maintenance. This targeted service removes soot accumulation and ensures safe, efficient operation of these popular kitchen appliances through thorough flue inspection and cleaning.
