Chimney Assessment

A fireplace is only as good as the chimney behind it. Before any fireplace is brought back into use, we carry out a thorough assessment and sweep to ensure it's safe, functional, and ready for the demands of regular use — particularly important for chimneys that have sat neglected or unused for some time.

Our process includes testing for proper draw and ventilation, clearing built-up soot, debris, and blockages, and identifying any structural issues that may need addressing before the fireplace is lit. This service is often carried out alongside a full fireplace restoration, or when converting a gas fire back to a traditional wood-burning setup, ensuring the chimney is fully prepared for its new use.
