Chimney services
Sweeping, inspection, restoration and protection.
Chimney sweeping & inspection
Burning wood leaves soot and creosote inside the flue. Build-up restricts airflow and can ignite. A regular sweep removes it and lets us inspect the chimney closely.
- Brush sweeping of the flue and smoke chamber
- Firebox, damper and hearth check
- Visual inspection of the chimney exterior
- Clear summary of condition and next steps
Restoration & repair
Flaking coatings, crumbling masonry and worn crowns can often be restored rather than rebuilt. We remove failed material, repair the structure and finish it to last.
- Removal of failed paint and coatings
- Tuckpointing and mortar repair
- Crown repair and replacement
- Masonry rebuild where needed
Caps & crowns
A cap keeps rain, leaves and animals out of the flue, and a sound crown sheds water away from the brick. Together they protect the chimney from the top down.
- Chimney cap supply and installation
- Animal guards and spark screens
- Crown inspection and repair
- Secure fitting by a harnessed crew
