The Auchmithie angle on bird nest and blockage removal
Auchmithie is exposed to coastal winds and salt air which can affect chimney performance and accelerate weathering of pots and stacks
Auchmithie sits within or near a conservation area, so external flue work and chimney repairs may need a sympathetic approach to preserve character
Traditional fisherman's cottages in Auchmithie often have characterful chimneys and harbour exposure that calls for the right cowl to prevent downdraught
Auchmithie is covered as part of our wider Arbroath round, alongside neighbouring Angus areas.
We regularly work on fisherman's cottages, harbour houses in the Auchmithie area.

Common Bird Nest and Blockage Removal Questions in Auchmithie
Here are answers to questions we're frequently asked about bird nest and blockage removal in the Auchmithie area.
The Alba process, step by step
Describe the symptoms
Smoke spilling, a roaring draught gone quiet, birds heard in the stack or debris in the grate all point to different causes.
Camera inspection
We look before we work, so we know whether it is a nest, a soot fall or a collapsed liner.
Clearance
The blockage is removed and brought down cleanly, with the hearth sheeted and the room protected.
Sweep and re-check
The full flue is swept and re-checked on camera to confirm it is clear from top to bottom.
Prevention
A bird guard or anti-downdraught cowl is fitted where appropriate, which is the only permanent fix.
