Protect Wildlife

Chimney caps and regular cleaning prevent animals from getting trapped or nesting inside your chimney.

Manual Chimney Sweep

Our Manual Chimney Sweeping service employs a range of specialist brush heads, carefully selected to suit your specific chimney or flue type. These brushes are securely attached to flexible rods, which are gently inserted into the chimney and worked with precision using a back-and-forth, twisting motion. This method is ideal for delicate masonry chimneys and metal flues, ensuring a thorough clean while protecting the structure from damage. Trust us for a meticulous, damage-free sweep every time

rotory power chimney sweep

In addition to our manual method, we offer an advanced rotary sweeping system powered by a battery drill. This technique spins the brush head at high speed, providing a more efficient and effective removal of deposits from chimney liners compared to traditional manual sweeping. We highly recommend this cutting-edge system whenever possible to deliver the best cleaning results for your chimney.

Removal of Chimney Blockages

There are several causes of blockages that can prevent smoke from effectively exiting the chimney or flue. Some simple causes include the incorrect cowl being fitted to the top of the chimney pot, or the chimney being capped off and left unused for an extended period of time. In such cases, we can help by removing the old cowl and fitting a suitable replacement. We offer a range of different cowls to suit varying situations.

Bird’s nests are another common cause of blockages in chimneys, and we are equipped to remove them safely and efficiently. However, the size of the nest can impact the duration of the removal process. Defective masonry or linings within the chimney can also cause blockages. In such cases, we utilize CCTV inspections and surveys to investigate the issue and provide suitable recommendations to address the blockage.

CCTV Camera SURVEYS

Ensure the safety and efficiency of your chimney with our advanced CCTV Camera Surveys.

We use state-of-the-art technology to inspect the internal condition of your chimney, identifying blockages, structural issues, or potential hazards that could compromise its performance.

Our detailed surveys provide clear visuals and comprehensive assessments, enabling us to deliver precise recommendations for cleaning or repairs.

Whether you're preparing for a sweeping service or need peace of mind about your chimney's condition, our CCTV inspections are a vital step in maintaining a safe and functional fireplace or stove. Trust us to keep your home warm, safe, and free from chimney-related concerns.
