Services
Chimney Sweeping
Our chimney sweeping service removes soot and debris using specialist brushes and industrial vacuums. Heavy cotton canvas sheets protect flooring, while soot cloths prevent dust escape. This ensures compliance with safety standards and optimal chimney function for open fires, stoves, and ranges.
Smoke Evacuation Check
After sweeping, we conduct a smoke evacuation check using purpose-made pellets. This verifies proper flue function, identifies leaks or blockages, and ensures harmful fumes exit safely. The process confirms your chimney operates efficiently and meets safety regulations.
Bird Nest Removal
We remove bird nests from chimneys, a common issue with jackdaws. Our team advises on prevention methods like bird guards. Removal occurs outside the AprilSeptember breeding season to comply with wildlife protection laws, ensuring legal and ethical service.
Chimney Pot Repair
Damaged or degraded chimney pots are repaired or replaced using durable materials. We re-flaunch existing pots to prevent water ingress and fit bird guards to deter nesting. This extends chimney lifespan and maintains structural integrity.
Appliance Servicing
We service stoves, ranges, and open fires, including rope seals and part replacements. Regular maintenance ensures efficient operation, reduces fire risks, and prolongs appliance lifespan. Our technicians provide tailored advice for optimal performance.
