How your bird nest and blockage removal enquiry unfolds

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.
