Services
Chimney Sweeping
Our ICS-certified chimney sweeping service removes blockages and soot buildup using traditional brushes and modern power equipment. We conduct safety checks, issue insurance-required certificates, and guarantee minimal mess. Regular maintenance prevents dangerous carbon monoxide accumulation and ensures efficient fuel burning for open fires, stoves, and biomass boilers.
Stove Installation
We offer bespoke stove fitting services from simple replacements to complete fireplace designs. Working with local craftsmen, we ensure proper ventilation and compliance with safety standards. Our independent advice helps select optimal appliances without supplier-linked upselling, with fixed-price quotes valid for six months.
Chimney Liners
We supply and install high-quality insulated flue liners with minimum 20-year warranties. Our assessments determine the best liner type for your chimney structure, ensuring proper support and corrosion resistance. We provide maintenance guidance post-installation to maximise lifespan and efficiency of the flue system.
Nest Removal
With SNH licensing, we legally remove nesting birds during breeding seasons while protecting young where possible. We install birdguards to prevent future blockages, following strict wildlife protection laws. Emergency removals for health and safety risks are handled in coordination with conservation bodies.
Stove Refurbishment
Our refurbishment service restores old stoves to optimal functionality, checking flue connections and safety features. We assess appliance condition, recommend necessary repairs, and ensure compliance with manufacturer specifications. This extends equipment lifespan while maintaining efficient and safe operation standards.
