Chimney Sweeping
Our chimney sweeping service removes soot, creosote, and blockages using traditional rods and brushes alongside modern vacuum systems. Regular sweeping prevents fire hazards and carbon monoxide buildup. We adhere to BSEN 1528-:2007 + A1:2010 standards, ensuring safety for homes and businesses.
CCTV Inspections
CCTV inspections assess chimney structural integrity, identifying cracks, leaks, or blockages. We use high-resolution cameras to provide real-time visuals, enabling precise diagnostics. This service ensures compliance and longevity, particularly after property renovations or suspected damage.
Bird Nest Removal
Bird nests in chimneys pose fire and blockage risks. We safely remove nests and install guards to prevent recurrence. Our process includes debris clearance, flue checks, and smoke tests to restore safe operation, complying with wildlife protection laws.
Damp Solutions
Chimney damp causes mould and structural damage. We diagnose sources like cracked mortar or faulty flashing, then apply ventilation and sealing solutions. Our approach prevents moisture ingress, protecting properties from long-term harm caused by hygroscopic salts.
Carbon Monoxide Checks
Carbon monoxide checks ensure flues are clear and appliances function safely. We advise on alarm installation and fuel usage to prevent poisoning. Our sweeps identify blockages from tar or debris, maintaining safe ventilation for gas, wood, and coal-burning systems.

Ventilate the area, extinguish fires, and contact us immediately. Do not relight appliances until inspected to prevent health risks.

We remove nests and install guards without harming wildlife, complying with legal protections. Early intervention prevents structural damage and blockages.

Excellent service - had been let down by another company, came at the specified time, quick and efficient and cheaper than the original no-shows! Will be sticking with these guys in the future.
