Services
Chimney Sweeping
Professional chimney sweeping services ensure safe and efficient fireplace operation. Our process includes thorough flue cleaning, debris removal, and issuing insurance-recognised certificates. Regular maintenance prevents blockages and reduces carbon monoxide risks for residential properties across Sussex.
Flue Camera Inspections
Advanced flue camera inspections provide visual verification of chimney condition. This non-invasive technique identifies structural issues, blockages, or wear while providing customers with recorded evidence. Essential for comprehensive maintenance planning and insurance compliance.
Bird Nest Removal
Specialised bird nest removal services address common Sussex chimney blockages. Our careful extraction process clears obstructions without damaging flue linings. Preventative advice helps reduce recurrence while maintaining proper ventilation standards for safe fireplace use.
Stove Maintenance
Comprehensive stove maintenance includes glass cleaning, fire cement reapplication, and operational checks. We ensure wood burners and stoves function efficiently while providing safety advice. Minor repairs are included with sweeping services to maintain optimal performance.
Carbon Monoxide Safety Checks
Carbon monoxide safety assessments identify potential risks from blocked chimneys or faulty appliances. We provide practical advice on ventilation, appliance maintenance, and alarm installation. Our inspections help prevent dangerous gas accumulation in residential properties.
