Chimney Sweep Services

CHIMNEY SWEEPING 

As professionals, We use specialist equipment for the job in hand.  Heavy cotton canvas worksheets protect your flooring whilst a tailor made soot cloth is used to seal the opening whilst the flue is swept,  ensuring the soot from your chimney/flue doesn't escape into the room. The soot is then transferred into an industrial vacuum which has three layers of filtration.  Soot is carcinogenic, so it's extremely important we protect our customers as well as ourselves!  

SMOKE EVACUATION CHECK

A standard procedure after your chimney/flue has been swept.  We need to ensure your chimney is functioning correctly before we leave. By checking visually with a purpose made smoke pellet, we can check the smoke & harmful fumes are evacuating the appliance via your chimney & not filling your home! It can also identify many faults the chimney/flue/pots may have.

Please note: This is not a smoke test.    

REMOVAL OF BIRDS NESTS 

From time to time we sometimes look up at chimneys & see birds sitting on the pots. Well.. This is what they are most likely up to!  Jackdaws are the usual suspects for creating the nest shown. If you notice a twig or two in your fireplace that have just magically appeared, you'd be wise to contact Jack or Robyn before you light your first fire of the season. Jack can efficiently remove the nest and advise you of how to prevent it happening again. Please note:  By law, we are unable to remove bird nests in the breeding season (April to September) as the eggs/chicks are protected.  For more information visit www.rspb.org.uk
