Having your chimney inspected is not a task you should think about doing - it is something you have to do for the safety of your home and your family. Regular chimney maintenance is essential both externally and more importantly internally, to ensure that carbon monoxide produced by your property's heating system can properly exit your home. Storm damage, weather erosion, neglect and nesting birds are just some of the instances that will contribute to the dilapidation of your property's chimney.
Guttering is used on roofing areas to catch rainwater from your roof, over time gutters can gather dry leaves, collect moss, develop mould or dislodged slates can become trapped. If too much debris gathers in the gutter, it will trap or reduce the drainage of water causing iron gutters to rust or break away. Additionally, in the winter months if water does not drain from the gutter it can lead to ice damage, forcing you to replace the gutter. Nesting birds, some insects or wasps may decide to build nests among the debris trapped in the gutter leading to additional problems.
