Services
Chimney Sweeping
Our chimney sweeping service ensures safe and efficient operation of wood-burning stoves, open fires, and AGAs. Using professional brushes and industrial vacuums, we remove soot buildup while preventing indoor contamination. Each sweep includes a certificate compliant with insurance requirements, reducing carbon monoxide risks and maintaining property safety.
Drone Inspections
Utilising DJI Mini 3 Pro drones with collision avoidance, we conduct detailed chimney stack and roof inspections. This non-invasive method captures high-resolution footage, identifying structural issues without scaffolding costs. Clients receive digital copies for further assessment by roofing professionals, ensuring accurate repair planning.
CCTV Flue Checks
CCTV flue checks verify internal flue integrity using specialist cameras. This service identifies blockages, damaged brickwork, or foreign objects in unused flues. Recommended before reactivating older systems, the inspection ensures compliance with safety standards and prevents potential carbon monoxide leaks during operation.
Flue Unblockage
Professional flue unblockage services address restricted chimneys using rotary equipment and high-powered vacuums. Each intervention includes post-clearance CCTV verification to guarantee complete debris removal. We handle complex obstructions including bird nests (outside nesting season) and creosote buildup in neglected systems.
Stove Maintenance
Stove maintenance covers cleaning and minor repairs for wood-burning and multi-fuel appliances. Our hourly-rate service includes component checks, ash removal, and efficiency optimisation. We advise on HETAS-compliant installations and can order replacement parts when required, ensuring ongoing appliance safety and performance.
