Chimney Cleaning
Our chimney cleaning service removes soot buildup and debris using traditional brushes and advanced vacuuming techniques. We conduct pre-cleaning inspections to identify obstructions like bird nests or structural damage. Post-cleaning, we issue official sweep certificates required by insurance providers, ensuring compliance and safety for domestic properties across London.
Chimney Liners
We install stainless steel and Furanflex liners to restore chimney functionality and prevent gas leaks. Our triple-locked seam liners meet building regulations and come with 15-year warranties. The process involves camera surveys to determine optimal installation routes, ensuring improved extraction and long-term durability for open fires and stoves.
Chimney Repairs
Our repair service addresses cracks, downdraught issues, and blockages using specialist camera equipment for precise diagnosis. We re-point brickwork, install chimney cowls to prevent nesting, and clear obstructions while maintaining structural integrity. Preventative maintenance packages help avoid emergency situations and prolong chimney lifespan.
Power Flues
Custom power flue systems extract smoke from fireplaces without traditional chimneys. Our electrically powered units ensure optimal draft regardless of weather conditions. Installation includes wall or roof-mounted fan units with safety interlocks for gas appliances, enabling fireplace installation in unconventional locations.
Furanflex Lining
Furanflex composite liners provide corrosion-resistant solutions for large or irregular chimneys. The installation process requires no wall demolition and suits listed buildings. With 25-year corrosion guarantees, this system improves thermal efficiency while accommodating condensing appliances and basket-style fireplaces through its flexible design.
Questions
How often should chimneys be swept?
HETAS recommends annual sweeping. More frequent cleaning is advised for heavy use or if burning unseasoned wood to prevent dangerous soot buildup.
Do gas fires require chimney maintenance?
Yes, gas fires need annual inspections to check for flue blockages and carbon monoxide risks. Our Gas Safe engineers provide comprehensive safety checks and certification.
What causes chimney downdraught?
Downdraught occurs due to wind patterns, blocked flues, or insufficient chimney height. We install specialist cowls and conduct pressure tests to resolve airflow issues effectively.
Are your services covered by warranties?
All flue liners carry minimum 15-year warranties. Furanflex systems include 25-year corrosion guarantees. Workmanship warranties cover all installation and repair services.
How long does a chimney sweep take?
Standard cleaning takes 40-45 minutes. Complex jobs involving repairs or liner installation may require extended visits, with clear time estimates provided during quotation.
