Inspection • Sweep • Repair
We provide thorough chimney sweeping, safety inspections and repairs focused on preventing fire hazards, improving combustion efficiency and protecting building fabric. Our trained technicians inspect flues using camera diagnostics, remove soot and creosote deposits to manufacturer and regulatory standards, and remediate defects with repair options that range from localized patching to full relining when required. Routine maintenance reduces smoke backflow, improves fuel economy and extends the usable life of chimneys and fireplaces.
Services are offered as single visits or scheduled maintenance packages for households and small landlords. Each visit results in a concise report describing observed conditions, immediate corrective actions taken, and recommended next steps. We prioritise safe outcomes—blocking unsafe use, isolating hazards and advising on best practice for fuel selection and appliance servicing.
Our technicians combine traditional sweeping methods with modern diagnostics. While brushes and rods remain essential tools for mechanical deposit removal, camera inspection, borescope imaging and thermal measurement give us a precise view of interior flue conditions. This mix of hands-on craft and instrumented assessment lets us recommend targeted interventions—avoiding unnecessary disruption while addressing the root cause of smoke issues, leaks or degraded liners.
Technicians hold recognised training in chimney work, flue systems and safe working at height. Inspections and certificates conform to local regulatory expectations.
Every job includes a written record with photos and a practical maintenance checklist for owners and building managers to follow.
We also offer educational guidance to owners—how to select appropriate fuels, the importance of regular appliance servicing, and how simple seasonal checks can prevent costly repairs. By translating technical findings into clear, actionable advice we empower clients to care for their chimneys sensibly between professional visits.
We prioritise actions that directly reduce fire and smoke risks: eliminating creosote in solid-fuel systems, identifying flue breaches that allow hot gases to contact combustible fabric, and recommending liners or repairs that restore safe containment. Our remediation proposals reference recognised guidance and include costed options so clients can choose between interim measures and long-term solutions.
Using camera inspection and thermal checks we distinguish between superficial soot accumulation and structural defects requiring intervention. This reduces unnecessary disruption and expense by ensuring full relining or structural work is undertaken only when evidence supports it.
Regular, appropriate cleaning and early repair of minor faults prevents the cascading deterioration that shortens the lifespan of a chimney. We recommend schedules and small interventions that save money long-term while keeping chimneys operationally reliable.
Each job includes photographic evidence of pre- and post-work conditions, readings from diagnostic devices, and a clear statement of remaining risks if any. This transparency simplifies insurance claims, handovers to property managers, and planning for future works.
Whether gas, oil, wood or multi-fuel appliances are in use, we tailor cleaning frequency, flue liners and draught management to specific combustion chemistry and deposit behaviour. This fuel-aware approach optimises performance and safety.
For smoke-back or suspected structural failures we provide rapid assessment and temporary containment or isolating measures so occupants remain safe until full repairs are scheduled. Our incident protocols aim to reduce immediate risk while minimising disruption.
Visual and instrumented inspection, including camera imaging of flue length, crown and pot condition checks, and appliance interface verification. Deliverable: concise diagnostic report with photographic references and recommended actions.
Systematic removal of soot and creosote using nylon and metallic brushes as appropriate, combined with controlled vacuuming to limit ash dispersal. We follow soot disposal best practices and clean up to a professional standard.
Installation of stainless steel or flexible liners where existing liners are breached or missing; patch repairs where localized defects are found. Each relining job includes integrity testing and documentation.
Fitting of appropriate caps and cowls to prevent ingress of rain and pests, and to manage updraught. Weatherproofing of crowns and flashing repair are undertaken to protect masonry and reduce long-term deterioration.
Repair of chimney stacks, repointing of degraded mortar, consolidation of loose bricks and remedial pointing using compatible materials to preserve breathability and structural behaviour.
Annual or multi-visit maintenance programs, tailored by appliance type and usage. Contracts include priority scheduling, discounted corrective work rates and record-keeping suitable for landlords and property managers.
Call or use the contact page to request an inspection; expect a site visit window, a diagnostic report and a fixed-price quote for recommended work. For urgent smoke or safety concerns we offer rapid response assessments and interim safety measures.
Where repairs are required we provide itemised proposals and explain options clearly — from minimal safety fixes to more durable long-term solutions. We emphasise transparent pricing and documented completion evidence.
