Services
Chimney Sweeping
Our chimney sweeping service removes soot, tar, and blockages using industry-approved brushes and rods. We cover hearths with dust sheets, contain soot during cleaning, and perform smoke evacuation tests. Regular maintenance prevents carbon monoxide risks and ensures appliance efficiency.
Stove Servicing
We inspect and service woodburning and multifuel stoves, checking installation compliance and identifying potential issues. Our HETAS-certified team ensures safe operation and provides corrective advice, maintaining insurance-recognised standards.
CCTV Inspections
Using advanced CCTV technology, we visually inspect flue linings for cracks, tar buildup, or damage. This non-invasive method identifies hidden risks, particularly in metal or clay-lined chimneys, ensuring timely repairs and preventing costly failures.
Carbon Monoxide Testing
We conduct free smoke draught tests to detect carbon monoxide leaks and verify proper flue function. Our service includes safety advice on alarm installation and fuel selection to mitigate poisoning risks from solid fuels.
Powersweeping
For severe blockages, we employ powered rotary systems to dislodge stubborn deposits. This method complements traditional rod techniques, ensuring thorough cleaning of flexible metal liners and clay/concrete flues without structural damage.

We acquired a Clearview Stove in a recent house move and wanted to ensure it was all safe before our first use. From making the appointment to finishing the job, Wayne was very professional, worked cleanly and efficiently, happily answered all of our questions and has a wealth of knowledge on how best to use and maintain our stove. Highly recommend and we'll definatley be using again in the future.
