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.

Do you charge extra for a village call-out?

No call-out fee. We group village visits so several nearby properties are done on the same run, which keeps the price the same as a town job.

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.
