Services
Chimney Sweeping
Professional chimney sweeping for multi-fuel burners, open fires, gas fires, and Agas. Our HETAS-registered team ensures safe and efficient operation by removing soot and debris. We cater to both modern and historic properties, including listed buildings, using industry-standard equipment and techniques.
Stove Installation
Expert installation of wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves. We provide independent advice on stove selection, compliance, and installation requirements. Our services include hearth adaptations, liner installations, and carbon monoxide testing to ensure safety and regulatory compliance for residential properties.
CCTV Inspections
Comprehensive chimney condition assessments using CCTV technology. This non-invasive method identifies structural issues, blockages, or damage in flues and chimneys. Ideal for insurance purposes or pre-maintenance planning, providing accurate diagnostics for effective repairs.
Flaunch Repairs
Specialist repair work for chimney stacks and flaunching (the cement or mortar joint between the chimney pot and roof). We restore structural integrity using weather-resistant materials, preventing water ingress and ensuring compliance with building regulations for long-term durability.
Carbon Monoxide Testing
Critical safety service measuring carbon monoxide levels in flue systems. Using calibrated equipment, we detect leaks that could pose health risks. This service is essential after installations, repairs, or routine maintenance to guarantee safe operation of gas and solid-fuel appliances.
