Services
Chimney Sweeping
Our professional chimney sweeping service removes soot and debris buildup to ensure safe, efficient operation. Using industry-standard brushes and Hepa filter vacuums, we clean all chimney types including wood burners and Agas. A free smoke test and insurance-recognised certificate are provided post-service.
Bird Nest Removal
We safely remove bird nests and debris from chimneys using specialist equipment. The waste is bagged and left for homeowner disposal as required by law. This service includes a post-clearance smoke test to ensure proper chimney function and safety.
CCTV Inspection
Our advanced CCTV technology allows internal chimney inspection to identify blockages, brickwork issues, or tar buildup. This diagnostic service helps prevent potential fires and ensures compliance with safety standards for both domestic and commercial properties.
Flue Maintenance
We service and maintain flues for wood burners, stoves, and open fires. This includes fire brick placement, door seal replacement, and unclogging flues for Agas and Jet Masters. Regular maintenance prevents dangerous carbon monoxide leaks.
Smoke Testing
Every service includes a free chimney smoke test to verify proper ventilation and identify potential leaks. This critical safety check ensures compliance with insurance requirements and prevents hazardous carbon monoxide accumulation in living spaces.

I didn't get the chance to have Gary sweep our chimney unfortunately as our chimney wasn't fit for use. However Gary was so helpful in telling me what we needed to do if we wanted a woodburner fitted and passed details on for someone who can do it. A lovely chap who's happy to advise and really pleasant to be around/in your home.
