Services
Chimney Sweeping
Regular chimney sweeping reduces fire risks and carbon monoxide hazards. Our certified technicians use professional equipment to ensure thorough cleaning of domestic and commercial chimneys. We advise on optimal maintenance schedules based on fuel type and usage patterns.
Stove Installation
We install wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves with HETAS-registered expertise. Our service includes flue lining, compliance checks, and safety certifications. We guide customers on selecting appropriate stove sizes and ventilation requirements.
Firewood Briquettes
Our UK-made briquettes offer 4x energy density compared to regular logs. These low-moisture (8%) compressed wood products burn longer with minimal smoke. Available in bulk quantities with nationwide delivery options.
Stove Repairs
We diagnose and fix stove issues including damaged seals and flue problems. Our mobile service carries common replacement parts for immediate repairs. We provide honest assessments without unnecessary work recommendations.
Chimney Inspection
Comprehensive chimney condition checks identify structural issues and blockages. We inspect for nests, damaged pots, and soot buildup. Clients receive clear advice on required maintenance or repairs following industry standards.
Questions
How often should chimneys be swept?
Smokeless fuel chimneys annually, wood-burning quarterly. We'll advise optimal frequency during service based on your usage patterns.
Do you install HETAS-registered stoves?
Yes, all our installations comply with building regulations and include necessary certifications for insurance purposes.
Are UK-made briquettes better than imported wood?
Our briquettes have 8% moisture content versus 25% in air-dried logs, burning longer with less smoke and chimney residue.
Can I install a stove myself?
While possible, professional installation ensures compliance with safety standards and avoids costly mistakes during building control inspections.
What causes chimney smoke issues?
Common causes include unlined chimneys, wet wood (moisture >25%), or inadequate draft. We'll identify and resolve the specific issue during inspection.
