Services
Chimney Sweeping
Our chimney sweeping service removes soot, creosote, and blockages to ensure safe and efficient flue operation. Using power vacuum technology, we prevent airborne particles and leave no mess. Regular maintenance reduces fire risks and carbon monoxide exposure, complying with insurance and landlord safety standards.
Smoke Testing
Smoke testing evaluates chimney draw efficiency and identifies leaks in fireplaces or stoves. This diagnostic ensures proper ventilation, preventing hazardous emissions and improving fuel combustion. The process confirms compliance with safety regulations for residential heating systems.
CCTV Inspections
CCTV inspections detect cracks, blockages, or water damage within chimney structures. This non-invasive method provides visual evidence of issues affecting performance. Early diagnosis prevents costly repairs and ensures long-term chimney functionality and safety.
Birds Nest Removal
Birds nests obstruct chimneys, causing smoke backdrafts and fire hazards. We safely remove nests and debris, restoring proper airflow. Preventative measures like flue caps are recommended to avoid future blockages and maintain system integrity.
Wood Stove Services
Specialised care for wood-burning stoves includes flue cleaning, efficiency checks, and safety certifications. Our expertise optimises heat output and reduces emissions. Annual inspections ensure compliance with environmental and insurance requirements for stove owners.
