Services
Chimney Sweep
Our chimney sweeping service removes soot, tar, and creosote buildup to prevent chimney fires and improve flue efficiency. We use industry-approved techniques for open fires, wood-burning stoves, and gas flues. Every sweep includes a free smoke evacuation test and certification for insurance compliance.
Stove Installation
We specialise in HETAS-registered installations of wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves. Our service includes flue testing, certification, and tailored advice on stove selection. We accommodate customer-supplied units and ensure full compliance with building regulations.
Bird Nest Removal
Professional bird nest removal prevents dangerous smoke backdrafts and flue blockages. We safely clear nests and install protective cowls to prevent future nesting, ensuring uninterrupted chimney functionality and safety.
Chimney Lining
Our chimney relining service ensures safe, leak-free flue operation. We conduct CCTV inspections and pressure tests to identify issues, then install durable liners that comply with current building regulations and safety standards.
CCTV Inspections
Using advanced camera technology, we inspect chimney interiors to identify cracks, blockages, or leaks. This non-invasive service provides detailed reports on flue condition, enabling targeted repairs and ensuring ongoing safety compliance.
