The Boarhills angle on bird nest and blockage removal

Boarhills is exposed to coastal winds and salt air which can affect chimney performance and accelerate weathering of pots and stacks

Rural properties around Boarhills often rely on solid fuel as their primary or supplementary heat source, making annual chimney maintenance vital

We regularly work on cottages, farmhouses in the Boarhills area.

  • Modern power-sweep equipment for tough deposits
  • CCTV survey camera for a real look inside the stack

How we handle a bird nest and blockage removal job in Boarhills

01

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.

02

Camera inspection

We look before we work, so we know whether it is a nest, a soot fall or a collapsed liner.

03

Clearance

The blockage is removed and brought down cleanly, with the hearth sheeted and the room protected.

04

Sweep and re-check

The full flue is swept and re-checked on camera to confirm it is clear from top to bottom.

05

Prevention

A bird guard or anti-downdraught cowl is fitted where appropriate, which is the only permanent fix.
