Flue Lining & Installation
Flue lining is the process of installing a protective barrier inside a chimney or flue system to improve its safety and efficiency. The lining helps to protect the chimney or flue walls from the corrosive byproducts of combustion, such as acid and creosote, which can cause damage and create a potential fire hazard. It also helps to prevent the leakage of smoke and gases into the home, as well as improving the draft and overall performance of the flue system. Flue lining can be done using a variety of materials such as stainless steel, ceramic, or clay tiles, and the choice of material depends on factors such as the type of fuel being used and the size and shape of the chimney or flue. It's important to have a professional inspect and determine the best type of flue lining for your specific situation.

Chimney Sweep
Chimney sweeping is the process of removing soot, creosote, and other debris from the inside of a chimney or flue system. This is done to improve the safety and efficiency of the chimney, as well as to prevent the buildup of dangerous gases, such as carbon monoxide, which can result from incomplete combustion. The chimney sweep uses specialized tools, such as brushes and vacuums, to remove the buildup of soot and creosote, which can accumulate over time from burning wood, coal, oil, or gas. Regular chimney sweeping is recommended to prevent blockages and ensure that the chimney or flue system is functioning properly. It is important to hire a professional chimney sweep, who has the necessary training and experience to safely and effectively clean your chimney.
Chimney CCTV
Chimney CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) is a process of inspecting the inside of a chimney or flue system using a specialized camera and video system. A chimney CCTV inspection involves inserting a flexible camera probe into the chimney or flue and using the video feed to examine the interior of the chimney from top to bottom. The camera provides a detailed view of the condition of the chimney walls, flue tiles, and any other components that may affect the safety or performance of the chimney. Chimney CCTV inspections are commonly used to identify blockages, cracks, leaks, or other damage to the chimney or flue system. They are also useful for verifying the condition of the chimney after a repair or maintenance service. A chimney CCTV inspection is typically performed by a professional chimney sweep or technician who has the necessary training and equipment to perform the inspection safely and accurately.
Chimney Caps
Chimney caps are protective coverings that are installed on the top of a chimney to prevent debris, animals, and weather elements from entering the flue. They are typically made of metal or masonry and come in a variety of styles and sizes to fit different types of chimneys. The primary function of chimney caps is to prevent debris, such as leaves and twigs, from entering the flue and potentially causing blockages or chimney fires. They also prevent animals, such as birds, squirrels, and raccoons, from nesting inside the chimney. In addition, chimney caps can help to prevent rain, snow, and other weather elements from entering the chimney, which can cause damage to the flue and fireplace system. Chimney caps are an important component of chimney maintenance and can help to ensure the safety and longevity of your chimney.
