Inspection • Sweep • Repair
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.
