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 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.

Will you come out this far for a single job?

Yes. Remote properties are normal for us. We will simply suggest a date when we are already working in that direction where possible.

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.
