Work like this around Brechin
What to expect from start to finish
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.
Camera inspection
We look before we work, so we know whether it is a nest, a soot fall or a collapsed liner.
Clearance
The blockage is removed and brought down cleanly, with the hearth sheeted and the room protected.
Sweep and re-check
The full flue is swept and re-checked on camera to confirm it is clear from top to bottom.
Prevention
A bird guard or anti-downdraught cowl is fitted where appropriate, which is the only permanent fix.
