Chimney Sweeping
Our chimney sweeping service removes soot, debris, and blockages to ensure safe, efficient operation. Using traditional brushes and power sweeping technology, we cater to open fires, stoves, and AGA appliances. Regular maintenance prevents carbon monoxide buildup and chimney fires, safeguarding your home.
Nest Removal
Bird nests and debris in chimneys pose serious safety risks. We carefully remove nests and blockages, adhering to wildlife protection laws. Our service includes advising on preventive measures like cowl installation to avoid future issues.
CCTV Surveys
CCTV surveys provide detailed visual assessments of chimney linings and structural integrity. This non-invasive method identifies cracks, leaks, or blockages, ensuring compliance with safety standards. Ideal for pre-purchase checks or annual maintenance.
Carbon Monoxide Alarms
We supply and install sealed-for-life carbon monoxide alarms, detecting this odourless, poisonous gas. Essential for homes with fuel-burning appliances, these alarms provide early warning against CO poisoning, complementing regular chimney maintenance.
Cowl Installation
Cages, caps, and cowls prevent birds, rain, and debris from entering chimneys. We recommend and fit appropriate solutions to reduce blockage risks and downdrafts, enhancing chimney longevity and safety.
