Chimney Repairs

It is common for chimneys to get damaged, especially if it is old or used frequently. Any defect, big or small, must be fixed immediately!

Remember, never use a defective or damaged chimney. Doing so can endanger your life and property!

Furthermore, not addressing issues immediately can mean costlier repairs. This is because, over time, the damage can become more extensive.

For example, a seemingly harmless crack on the cap can actually weaken the masonry. Eventually, the structure may collapse forcing you to do a complete rebuild.

We do all types of chimney repairs – from fixing leaky flashings to rebuilding chimney stacks.

You can count on us to do the repair right the first time. You can also trust us to deliver superior repair work that is going to last long.

Chimney Relining

The liner or the flue is necessary for the chimney to work efficiently and safely. When it is damaged, heat can transfer quickly to the surrounding areas of the chimney. Toxic fumes may also flow into your house instead of out of it. In addition, the integrity of the masonry can get compromised.

For relining projects, we recommend Eldfast ceramic and Class 1 stainless steel liners. These types of liners are meant to last for many decades. They are durable and easy to clean.

Our specialists are experienced in relining different types of properties – modern as well as period houses. You can count on us for proper liner installation!

Chimney Maintenance

Having a well-maintained chimney means having a safe home. It is all about ensuring that you or your house would not be one of the over 1,000 properties in Ireland that experience chimney-related fires annually.

Chimney maintenance involves two things: survey and cleaning. Government authorities recommend that chimneys should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year. However, chimneys that are used extensively require more cleaning.

Chimney surveys and cleaning are usually scheduled in spring or in fall. The peak time is usually in fall. So, if you are getting maintenance services this season, call us as early as summer to get the schedule you want.

CCTV Chimney Survey

Inspection is not just about checking the exterior or visible parts of the structure. It is also about surveying the interiors which is actually very important. Dangerous chimney issues usually involve the interiors like a cracked flue.

Currently, chimney inspections are conducted using CCTV cameras. This is the gold standard when it comes to surveys. So, do not settle for anything less!

A CCTV chimney survey allows specialists to identify hard-to-spot problems like hairline cracks on the liner. Moreover, it paves the way for more accurate diagnosis which is integral in coming up with permanent repairs. Lastly, this method is less invasive (or destructive) and less time-consuming. The entire task can be completed in an hour or less.

Chimney Cleaning

Combustion byproducts like creosote and soot can stick to and accumulate in your liner. These substances, especially creosote, are dangerous.

For one, a spark hitting the creosote can ignite a fire that’s hot enough to create cracks on the flue. In addition, creosote that sits too long on the masonry and liner can cause the deterioration of these structures. They can also cause blockage, thereby preventing gases like carbon monoxide from exiting your house.

Aside from combustion byproducts, other stuff like twigs and bird’s nest may also be present on your chimney. These can prevent the chimney from functioning efficiently. Worse, they can set the house ablaze.
