Services
Chimney Sweeping
Our comprehensive chimney sweeping service uses specialized brushes and rods to remove soot, tar, and blockages from all flue types. We protect your property with dust sheets and containment cloths, ensuring minimal disruption. Each sweep includes a smoke draught test to verify proper ventilation and carbon monoxide evacuation.
CCTV Flue Inspection
We conduct detailed CCTV inspections to identify cracks, corrosion, or blockages in chimney liners. This non-invasive technique allows precise diagnosis of structural issues and helps prevent dangerous carbon monoxide leaks. The inspection includes visual documentation for insurance or maintenance records.
Carbon Monoxide Testing
Our free smoke draught test detects carbon monoxide leaks during chimney operation. We advise on proper fuel selection and appliance maintenance to minimize poisoning risks. We also educate clients about CO symptoms and the importance of certified alarm installation.
Stove Servicing
We inspect and maintain woodburning and multifuel stoves to ensure safe, efficient operation. Services include checking seals, baffles, and air controls while verifying compliance with building regulations. We provide HETAS-certified installation advice and maintenance certificates.
Power Sweeping
For severe blockages, we employ power sweeping using industrial-grade equipment to remove stubborn deposits. This method effectively clears tar buildup and nests while preserving flue integrity. Recommended for chimneys with restricted airflow or prior carbon monoxide incidents.
