chimney sweeping
We use the Rodtech Power Sweeping equipment and an industrial chimney sweep vacuum. We will seal the fireplace and collect the soot within the appliance. Once the sweep has been successful we will provide you with a Chimney Sweeping Certificate, which is recognised by your insurance company and includes the sweep details and the safety advice given.
CCTV CHIMNEY INSPECTION & SURVEY
We use a purpose built professional CCTV Chimney inspection system, with full record & playback capabilities to identify faults or obstructions. CCTV can be used for a number of situations: vital safety checks on chimneys when moving into a new home and inspect blockages.
smoke tests
We can carry out smoke tests to ensure soundness of chimney flues, this helps to identify smoke leakages from the chimney flue and identifies where the issues are.
bird nests & blockage removal
Bird nests or blockages lodged in your chimney can also cause problems by blocking the flow of air through the flue as well as catching fire. We have specialist equipment that can remove the debris safely.
Chimney pots, cowls & bird guards
We can install new or replace existing chimney pots, cowls and bird guards. Capping disused chimney flues will minimise heat loss provide 100% protection against rain, leaves, nesting birds etc.
