Services
Chimney Sweeping
Regular chimney sweeping removes flammable creosote buildup, preventing dangerous chimney fires. Our technicians use advanced power sweeping technology to clean flues thoroughly without damaging liners. This essential maintenance ensures safe gas extraction and compliance with safety standards.
Power Sweeping
Power sweeping employs rotating brushes to remove soot and tar deposits from chimneys more effectively than traditional methods. This technique minimises pressure on flue walls, making it ideal for delicate metal liners and older chimney systems.
Safety Inspections
Our safety inspections assess chimney functionality and identify potential hazards. Using scientific principles like stack effect analysis, we evaluate draft efficiency and recommend corrective actions to prevent carbon monoxide leaks and structural issues.
Smoke Testing
Smoke testing identifies cracks and leaks in chimney flues that could allow harmful gases into living spaces. Conducted according to British and European standards, this procedure ensures compliance with building regulations and safety requirements.
Masonry Repairs
We offer comprehensive masonry repairs including partial and total chimney rebuilds. Our services address structural vulnerabilities caused by weather exposure, wear, or damage, with guarantees on all completed repair work.

Very professional & experienced. They did a very detailed CCTV on our neighbors' chimneys. Wayne explains things very clear and straightforward. He is fair and makes judgement on the actual facts he sees from his CCTV camera. It has been my pleasure to deal with them.

Bloor chimney sweepers came to look at the damp we had coming in our room from the chimney. when had a CCTV survey done which showed we had two chimney pots missing and a large crack in the chimney stack. Bloor chimney sweepers organised every thing . the rebuilt the chimney stack with new pots. They done a brilliant job. they also repointed the back of my house as well. Tanks for a great job , would strongly recommend this company.
