Do you travel out to farms and steadings?

Yes, rural Angus is a large part of our work. Farmhouses and converted steadings often have tall, cold, unlined stacks with several bends, so a CCTV survey before quoting saves everyone a wasted visit.

How exposed are chimneys on the Angus coast?

Very, between Arbroath and Montrose. Onshore wind creates pressure over the roofline that pushes down the flue, which is felt indoors as a stove that will not draw on a gusty day. An anti-downdraught cowl fixes most of it.

Do you charge extra for a village call-out?

No call-out fee. We group village visits so several nearby properties are done on the same run, which keeps the price the same as a town job.

Do you take on commercial premises?

Yes, including pubs, hotels, offices and community buildings. Commercial flues are often larger, dirtier and used far harder than domestic ones, so the sweeping interval is usually shorter than once a year.

What about an inset or cassette appliance?

Inset stoves are built into the chamber, so access for sweeping and servicing is tighter. We plan for that rather than discovering it on the day, and we will say at survey stage if a removable register plate is worth fitting.

What Aberlemno homeowners should know

Out in rural Aberlemno, a stove often takes the place of a central heating system rather than supplementing one. That changes how we recommend sizing the appliance and specifying the flue.

If something has gone wrong with your stove or chimney, we'd rather you stop using it until we've had a look. We can usually get out promptly to assess and advise.

Aberlemno sits within or near a conservation area, so external flue work and chimney repairs may need a sympathetic approach to preserve character
