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.

Can you work on listed properties in Angus conservation areas?

We can. Forfar, Brechin, Kirriemuir and Montrose all have protected buildings where external flue work is restricted. Internal solutions and sympathetic terminal choices usually solve it, and we will tell you honestly when consent is needed before we start.

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.

Can you work around a holiday let changeover?

We can. Short-let owners usually need a mid-week slot between guests, and we will hold a time rather than give a vague window that risks a booking.

Does an open fire need the same attention as a stove?

It needs more sweeping, not less. An open fire sends far more unburnt material up the flue than a modern closed appliance, so deposits build faster even though the fire feels gentler.

The Noranside angle on smoking chimney fix

Out in rural Noranside, 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.
