how can we  help you?

Using your fireplace with no problems?

A working chimney needs to be swept at least once each year. This is because every time you burn a fire, soot will build up in the chimney. Too much soot poses a fire risk and will restrict dangerous gasses from escaping freely, leading to fumes spilling into your living room.

Having problems with your fireplace?

Problems with fireplaces are very common as many factors will influence a chimneys performance. We combine specialist equipment and experience to diagnose any issue you are having with your fire.

New Homeowner, existing fireplace?

There’s nothing quite like buying a lovely old home that includes a traditional fireplace or stove. However, a chimney fire probably isn’t the housewarming ‘gift’ you want. This is why it pays to have that chimney looked at.

Installing a new fireplace or stove?

A house without a fireplace is a house without a heart. A fireplace is a perfect addition to any home; it looks fantastic and is a great way to heat your home. Before you fit that fire, we must ensure the chimney will be safe to use.

Party-wall agreement?

A party wall agreement is a legal agreement between you and your neighbours which governs any building work that might affect a shared wall. As you can imagine, it can have quite an impact on chimneys.
