Chimney services

Chimneys are one of the most exposed parts of a house. It is commonplace for them to fall in to disrepair allowing water and vermin into your home.  Our chimney services focus on repairing and maintaining chimneys.

Maintenance and repair 

Listed below are some of the common services and repairs we perform on a weekly  basis. If you require a service that is isn't listed, then please don't hesitate to contact us as we may be able to help.

01

Pot replacement 

Chimney pots are exposed to the elements year round and subject to breaking. We can replace your old broken pots with new, high quality buff or terracotta pots 

03

Re-flaunching 

At the top of the chimney and around  chimney pots there is a layer of concrete or lime motar this is called the flaunching. Flaunching seats chimney pots in position and prevents water coming down the chimney.

 

Through general weathering this can crack allowing water to ingress in to your home. To resolve this we  simply replace the old mortar with with  new mortar.

02

Cowl fitting

A cowl is essentially a little hat that sits on top of your chimney pot. It prevents rain from pouring down your chimney and birds from nesting in your chimney stack. We can fit cowls as stand alone jobs or alongside other works.

Chimney lining

Many Sheffield homes are Victorian terraces, due to the age of these properties, the insides of the chimneys are no long air tight. This means smoke from your stove is able to leak from your chimney in to other parts of your house or neighboring properties.

Lining your chimney with a flue liner, ensures an airtight passage from your appliance to the top of your chimney.
