CHIMNEY REBUILDS
Chimneys have a tough job, from the outside they get attacked by the British weather and from the inside caustic combustion compounds and soot attack the brickwork.
The latter is good enough reason for regular chimney sweeping. Damage to the chimney stack and flue can adversely affect the performance of your solid fuel appliance and the ability to remove harmful combustion products.
In the event of a chimney fire we recommend that a camera survey and integrity test is carried out before it is used again.





LEAD FLASHING
Lead flashing is a vital component of any roofing system, designed to provide a watertight seal between different parts of the roof and surrounding structures.
It is commonly used around chimneys, roof valleys, dormer windows, and other areas where the roof meets vertical walls or features.
Properly installed and maintained lead flashing protects your property from water infiltration, ensuring the longevity and integrity of your roof.
We offer lead flashing installation and repairs, ensuring your roof remains watertight and secure.

CAMERA SURVEYS
Chimney Camera Inspections
The blockage or malfunctioning of a chimney system can be a stressing occurrence. It might not be your fault entirely, but it is your sole responsibility as the owner to have the issue fixed. Cameras are an efficient method since they pinpoint the exact problem rather than guessing what might be the root cause of the blockage.
There are many reasons for carrying out camera inspections. They include; assessing the condition of masonry flues, twin wall systems or the flexible flue liners, to remove blockages in the sewer or chimneys, and it can also be done to assess damages caused by a chimney fire. Cameras are also able to identify deformation or cracks on pipes formed as a result of high pressure.





POWER SWEEPING
The number one reason to keep your chimney clean is safety. Your chimney is like an exhaust pipe that carries harmful fumes from your fireplace out of your home.
As a result of lighting your fireplace or stove every day, soot, tar, and creosote will accumulate inside the chimney over time and 'stick' to the inside over time, which will reduce your chimney's ability to ventilate efficiently.
If this is not dealt with, you might have chimney fires or carbon monoxide gases lingering in your house.
Power Sweeping your chimney clean will prevent these dangerous situations from occurring. Regularly cleaning the vents will ensure that your fireplace is functioning as it should
